    I have some seeds for Alstromeria psittacina and Moraea huttonii.
    Web advice for both is conflicting, so I wondered if anyone has any experience of growing them from seed?
    All replies appreciated!

    Hi there longk ... sorry, can't help as my Alstromeria has just come back for the third year in a pot which quite surprises me. Mine seeded but I tossed them as I can't be bothered with such.

    Here's my Munchkin as a babe (three this May) with mine which are up and running again in the same pot ...

    I just leave the pot in a protected area of the garden and forget about it and it has a rest and comes back.

    I'm trying to grow the seed to see if the slight variegation in the foliage will disappear.
