Could there be an environmental influence on pigmentation in A. belladonna? I thought that nearly all of the ones that have bloomed in Davis, and are still doing so, came from one population at UCDavis. Those in bloom now, in shaded locations in Davis are dark pink, as are those at the Russian River location. They fit the description given by Diana Chapman for the most common A. belladonna, that Bill the Bulb Baron says may be from Spanish Mission days. Some of mine that bloomed in a greenhouse in July, when temps ranged up to 47C (116 F), were very light pink with darker, but not real dark, tepal tips. Temperature-dependent fading of color is quite common in the alstroemeria that I grow, and hence I thought that might be the case in the A. belladonnas, too. I could post an image I guess, but that wouldn't answer the question posed...got to do the experiment
