Alstroemeria x bomarea

I recently purchased a plant labeled Alstroemeria x Bomarea (or maybe
Bomarea x Alstroemeria) from a nursery in Eugene. Its foliage looks
very Alstreomeria like but a bit more blue-green than green. Flowers
were just opening when I got it and were tubular coral -
unfortunately, they disappeared in the week-long journey it took for
the plant to make it from Portland to So California via UPS (I didn't
have a choice but to have someone else ship it and the folks who
packed it did a lousy job).

I don't find mention of this intergeneric hybrid in the PBS wiki or in
the archives - does anyone recall seeing a discussion about it? Or
know anything about it? I'm wondering about where to plant it and
what to expect it to do once it is in the ground....

Thanks!

Nan
