Lavender freesia in the front yard. Most are white right now. I saw a red one open in The Path Garden today.
The Alstroemeria is a new one and this is the first bloom. Hoping for rain to help with the water bill. Tomorrow, it is supposed to be 80s and windy, which dries the garden faster. I hope to get out and water early.

Here are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community.
I am interested in planting perennials this year and have found a beautiful plant called "Alstroemeria". Can anyone provide me with info on this flowering plant and whether it can be planted in my zone in central Louisiana. As well as upkeep and so forth.
This is the flower that you see in so many flower arrangements made by florists - they love it! I hope you have great luck with it. God bless you!
When you google it again, try spelling it 'alstroemeria'. Hope that helps.
Hi there.
Those are some of my favorite flowers! They are also known as Peruvian lilies.
They come in many different colors, from white to deep maroon, to yellow, to pink, and lots of colors.
I am trying to find the same information, and much to my surprise, the question was asked from another Nelwyn!
Check out these photos.
The first flower bloomed this week. A lily that DD gave me. The second is the newest Alstroemeria called "Navajo Princess".
Hubby's sense of humor at work in the garden again. These Alstroemeria are small. I was told they are miniature (a gift from daughter-in-law).
