Greenfields, this is the spot where I got the Sara pic from: https://www.easytogrowbulbs.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1318
it must be like a hybrid 'name' given to this particular colored Alstromeria ~ Anytime I can help, please tug on me...I LOVE gardens and flowers. 
Elyse and I learned something new with this.

Amazing. The bunch looks like the bunch at my florists place. And "sara" also looks like the detailed one I took the photo and posted it. I wonder if Sara is an endearment for Astromeria. Would your florist know? No rush. As and when you have time. Cheers.

I know what you mean. I have not been able to remember names of plants, trees and flowers. But that hasn't stopped me from loving, lusting and enjoying them.
