Notes:
I received some plants from a friend who has no idea what it is, but I love the flowers. I’d love to know what it is.

The seeds don’t germinate well, sometimes only 25% success. Look for the little bulbs/tubers in the soil and replant like spring bulbs.

Thanks everyone! Although it may be easy to care for I have yet to find an area it thrives in… but I’ll keep trying. I saved some seeds that I hope to grow next year.

Looks like Alstromeria or Peruvian lily. http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/factsheets/bulbs-summer/alstroemeria.html Many different colors available and good as a cut flower. Looks like it may be hardy in your area with some care.

That should have been Alstroemeria psittacina. Buck

This is an Alstoremeria psittacina – (Inca Lily or Parrot Lily). Hummingbirds love it. It is a great flower, easy to care for, but multiplies rapidly. Buck
