Readers are advised that an in-depth article will be published in "Clamer Informa" this autumn on the dwarf Alstroemeria 'Princess Lilies'. The recent varieties 'Aiko' and 'Isabella' have been well received and demonstrate stonger flower colour. The latter variety is a good orange and very compact but flowers up to 2 weeks earlier than other varieties, therefore the planting date needs to be delayed if to obtain uniform cropping. New varieties to be introduced shortly are 'Anouska' is a new purple for release in 2004 and 'Yellow Bird', said to be the best yellow to date, for 2004/2005."Commercial Greenhouse Grower".
