Alstroemeria

Alstromera

The Alstroemeria that Cindy planted in the raised bed out behind the garage last year is doing so well now that she decided to put in a few more along the fence on the north side of the house.

In fact, she went hog-wild and bought fifteen plants and put them in.  The varieties she chose were Jenna, Anouska, Rachel and Third Harmonic.

They looked great.  For about a week.

Then the neighbor's mow-blow-go gardener decided to spray the emerging Thunbergia on her side of the fence with a well-known herbicide (you know the product I'm talking about) because he thought they were weeds.

Unfortunately, overspray from that product seems to have drifted through the chain link fencing onto our new Alstroemeria, which are now looking a little worse for wear.

We're hoping they will survive, but Grandma would have said they were looking a bit peaked.
