forest understorey, where they twine through adjacent vegetation, benefiting from the light shade.  The lovely flowers clearly demonstrate their close relationship to Alstroemerias, and are producedin dense trusses at the ends of the growing shoots.  Under greenhouse conditions, or in mild winter regions, these are easy plants to grow, and will reward you with profuse flowering over a long season.  All Bomareas are shipped in pots, since it is best that their roots not be disturbed.
