INTRODUCTION

Alstroemeria revoluta has the smallest flowers in Chile which measure less then half the size of most other alstroemerias. Despite that it still is a very attractive plant, because the flowers are delicately pink-colored and the petals bent back give it a very peculiar look. It grows in relatively rich soils, can tolerate some shade and may not be very hardy. At least in Chile it grows in places where there is frost, but not snowcover.
