Description:
From the outer reaches of the Chingazá Paramo to the east of Bogota in central Colombia in early 2024 at 3,150m. A collection we gathered from a small herbaceous twining climber allied to Alstroemeria, forming a congested clump of tuberous roots, from which arose slender twinning stems to only 1-2m tall (in the wild), with narrowly ovate to linear alternate leaves. Bearing lightly speckled reddish-orange long funnel-shaped flowers in relatively small congested umbels midsummer through autumn. Best grown in a rich well draining soil with shade for the roots and protection from severe frost. SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FROM LATE SPRING 2025
