I have enough rocks in the yard I could create a fake talus slope *not just
for this plant* for a number of geophytes that like this sort of condition.
Of course, the spot is currently occupied by a small dead tree.

Anyway, this plant is ridiculously cool.

Hi Robert,

I’ve seen photos from its native habitat where the plant looks quite large
maybe 3-4 feet long with thick shoots. It is related to alstroemeria & has
a similar growth pattern in that it sends up single shoots at a time. Mine
have only gotten about 2 feet long & the shoots are not as thick as some I
have seen. It has a summer dormancy and I keep it almost completely dry
from around mid May until whenever shoots appear in the fall.

Now what I’m really after is the yellow form of this plant... Anyone?
