A new variety of Alstroemeria characterized by the generally light purple coloration of the outer petals of its very large blooms, each of which has a streak of darker purplish color extending from end-to-end along each side of its central groove and being occasionally marked with streaks of purplish color extending from the inner body portion to the petal margin; the inner petals being more narrow in form and being mainly of a yellow coloration, except for the petal tips, and being marked overall with short, deep purplish pencil stripes which spread longitudinally from the petal base to its tip. This plant is further distinguished by its vigorous, upright and strong growth habit, a very good winter production, and a more rapid growth habit, reaching a height of about 200 cm.
The new and distinctive Alstroemeria and the parts thereof, substantially as herein shown and described, particularly distinguished by the large size and light purple coloring of its flowers, by its vigorous and rapid growth habit, and by its good winter production.

This new Alstroemeria plant originated as a seedling of a hybrid resulting from my crossing the variety `Edison` (unpatented) as the seed parent and, as the pollen parent, a plant selected from my stock of plants maintained for breeding purposes at Aalsmeer, The Netherlands. This particular seedling was selected by me for propagation and test because of its very fast growth habit and its very large flowers of a distinctively different coloration than that of its companion variety `Stalbel`, which is from the same seed parent. Asexual propagation by root division was done under my direction at Aalsmeer and the resulting plant appearing to have the desirable characteristics of the parent, propagation of the new plant by root division was carried on through several successive generations, which demonstrated that the novel and distinctive characteristics of this new variety would hold true from generation to generation and appeared to be firmly fixed for continuous asexual propagation.
This new Alstroemeria hybrid is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which, in full color, shows flowers of a blooming umbel of the plant and demonstrates the unique and distinctive color and form of the flowers, the color rendition being as nearly true to those specified as is possible to obtain by conventional photographic procedures .
The following is a detailed description of my new Alstroemeria hybrid as observed at Aalsmeer, The Netherlands, the color designations being according to The R.H.S. Colour Chart published in 1966 by The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England.
Origin: Seedling.
