After a request, I thought I would start a separate thread devoted to alstromeria. You will see it in select greenhouses shortly and it is such a lovely plant. I bought mine in a greenhouse just outside of Beaumont and it does seem that not all the greenhouses carry them. Also, if you see them and want one, buy it. Do not hesitate or it will be gone. They are out of them, usually, in a matter of days, sometimes hours. Mine are going into their 3rd year and are sprouting quite nicely now. Being fairly expensive, it is nice to know that we can easily overwinter them and divide them.
I bought 2 - 10" pots of them 3 years ago for about $12 each. Mine were sold under the name "Princess Lilies" (website below) and are supposed to be the 'Sara' variety. You will see, if you compare the website pics vs. my pics, that mine are not so yellow as theirs and more of a peachy, pink. But, I love them very much just the way they are. I brought them home and immediately transplanted them into 16" deck pots. One, I divided - the other, I just potted straight in. I didn't notice too much difference between them, either way. They put on a fair show that year but it gets better . . .
I didn't get them in at first hard frost in October and I thought I had lost them. But, DH brought them downstairs for me and we forgot about them. In late Nov., early Dec., I happened to notice them sprouting and flowering. But, everything was albino white - no colour. Whoops . . . guess these need some light. Brought them upstairs and left them in my kitchen for a day or two. My dear, sweet (rotten) cats decided that they made a really nice toilette and dirt bath. Again, I thought they were goners. I got new potting soil and started to repot them. Lo and behold, the tubers they had developed were massive and in great quantity. No visible difference, really, between the earlier divided one and the other - except that the spread was a bit better on the one that had been split. So last year, I just trimmed the tubers back, repotted them and then called the greenhouse where I bought them. They told me, seeing as it was still so early, to just pull up the white sprouts until green shoots started to appear and then pull about a third of them until you can't keep up with it anymore, at which time, just let it go on its own. The show they put on last year was spectacular and lasted all season. They were budding when I put them out in May and flowered right up to freezeup.
2005 'Sara'
Close-up of 'Sara'
This past year, I brought them in, left the foliage on to dry, pulled it off when it was dry and piled the dry foliage on top of the pots. They didn't prematurely sprout. I repotted them about two weeks ago and they are now sending up nice green shoots. And I managed to get two new pots going.
The tubers are quite fragile and both years have absolutely filled the 16" pots with tubers and roots. But, I'm really finding them pretty easy to keep. They just go down into my unfinished basement - not hot, but not really cold, either.
I have them on my west facing deck and they seem to do very well in the afternoon sun. Mostly, they get just rainwater, but if really dry, I water them. I haven't ever fertilized them.
Let me know if you have any other questions on them and I'll try to answer or we can go to the supplier in the Netherlands and find out. I'm not sure if I can successfully get seed off of them, yet. I watched last year, but wasn't positive that it was seed and wanted to do my own trials on it first. Hope this helps.
Thanks Shauna, that's really encouraging! The variety I picked up was 'Camilla' for myself and 'Oxana' for a friend, so hopefully by the fall, we'll be able to divide them and each have a different variety.
The link was informative too. I guess my little one will have to go into a LARGE pot for it to be happy. The roots are starting to come out of the bottom of the pot already, so that'll be my afternoon job for today.
So when the greenhouse told you to pull a third of the shoots off, does that mean to pull the entire shoot from the tuber or to cut the shoot down by a third?
The plants I got were not in bloom and don't have any buds yet, but when they do flower, I'll be sure to post pix.
Those are both such pretty ones, Laurie. I almost bought 'Oxana' last spring but decided to wait one more year to make sure that I wasn't just "lucky" overwintering them.
I wouldn't be pulling any shoots off now, if you bought them at the greenhouse already. They should be raring to go. Just when you start to see the shoots again after winter storage. And, yes, it does mean pull the entire shoot up, of course without pulling the plant out of the pot. They will pull up very easily but I usually put two fingers on the soil at the base of the shoot and gently pull straight up with my other hand.
BTW, I notice on the website that they refer to them as rhizomous but I think it is more a tuber. ???? Also, looking at the website, I should probably give mine a shot of fertilizer now that they are sprouting. They are a bit later than last year, but I sort of did that on purpose, too, considering how early they started last year. They'll be strong and lush by May, anyway.
I spread my "tuber" system out, like iris roots or asparagus crowns and then cover with about 2" of soil. Also, I store mine right in their pots and then repot in late Jan., early Feb.
Sharon, did I see that you were starting some from seed? You'll have to keep us posted on how they are doing. Judging by the way they fill the pot every year, it won't be long before you have big, healthy plants. If you read the website under consumer info., it says they are mildly winter hardy. They should be good for the pumphouse that you have - it stays above freezing, right?
I also picked up some alstromeria to grow on my west facing deck this summer. Here, in Brandon, the only greenhouse that has some is the Greenspot. I phoned all around Brandon to all the greenhouses and even to Portage La Prairie, to Jeffries and they do not carry them.
I bought Camilla (a white one), Zsa Zsa (a light pink one) and Angela (a yellow one). I have yet to divide mine...they are in 5" pots, but the roots are coming out of the bottom also, just like Laurie's were. Here at the Greenspot they are $9.99 each. And... very shortly will be planted into larger pots and then of course the price will go up.
When I googled alstromeria the other day...one site said that the reason that alstromeria blooms for so long is that the seeds are sterile. Maybe that is why you have not found any seeds Shauna.
Question for you Shauna...were the alstromeria, when in your unfinished basement in the dark or not? I have a "pit" under the basement where I keep all the potatoes, carrots, beets, begonias, cannas, dahlias, callas, my brug...etc. I was wondering if that may be a spot I could put them for the winter. It is dark and cool in the "pit". When I googled alstromeria the images of the roots looked like dahlia roots.
What do you think?
Brenda (valleyrimgirl)
Thanks, Brenda, for the input on the seeds. I wondered if they might be sterile. Many, many of the "pods" fell into the pots when I brought them in and let the foliage dry up. Nothing has sprouted from these pods.
Generally speaking, my pots are kept in the dark. No particular place in my basement - wherever I can find 4 square feet of floor space - usually something that seems to be at a premium in our household. LOL. And the only time there is light is if someone leaves it on or the constant "gray" light in an unfinished basement from the windows. Your pit sounds ideal.
I wonder if it's only the new hybrids that are sterile? I read somewhere that there's a variety that's native to the southern states that's considered to be quite the weed.
Now why can't we have such pretty weeds up north? ;o)
Brenda, do you know if this is the first year that the Greenspot's brought them in? Or have we just missed them other years?
Laurie, I was talking to one of my friends who works there and she said that they did have the alstromeria last year, but whether they had them other years also I do not know.
Shauna, thanks for the vote of confidence for my pit as a storage area. I have lots and lots of storage area down there and usually leave all the cannas, begonias, callas etc in their pots all winter and bring them out of the pit about this time of the year to start them again. There would be lots of room there for 3 more pots.
Thanks for all your tips Shauna!
I've never grown them before so therefore I have 2 Ligtu on order from Botanus!
I will most likely plant mine in pots and bring them indoors too for the winter like you suggested!
Yes, me too Marcia, how I miss those lessons Shauna were teaching us last spring ;)
Does anyone know how full the Ligtu alstromeria gets? They are suppose to be 32" tall but, how "fat"? The Princess Lilies like in Sara in Shauna's pictures look very full in appearance, but are only suppose to be 12 inches high. The prices are great though...maybe next year...see if I can keep the ones I bought this year alive first.
Yes, I do believe that we are talking two different cultivars between 'Sara', etc. and Sharon's 'Ligtu'. The Princess® lilies are a compact, dwarf-type and the 'Ligtu' is a taller variety. The flowers look very similar. Equally as pretty, but the usage in the flower bed would be different. I think 'Ligtu' is more the type used by the florists because it has a nice, long stem. The Princess® lilies have very short stems. I would think, because the basal growth should be similar, that 'Ligtu' could bush out quite a bit at the bottom. But the flowering stalks will be longer and appear to extend quite high above the bottom growth.
For anyone new who doesn't know what we are talking about, I did a weekly synopsis last spring of my Master Gardener course that I was taking. However, I didn't finish posting all of the lectures, despite my promises to do so. Unfortunately, life got in the way. I may surprise you yet, with some more. I am glad that everyone enjoyed them so much, though.
Hi! I just love when the group of you girls get chatting! I am learning alot from you! Last year in July our local Canadian Tire brought in Alstromeria in hanging basket pots. I love new plants so I made a note of what it was. I was tempted to buy one but since it wasn't winter hardy I decided to pass. Thanks to you guys I will be buying one this year if I can find one. Hope the price comes down a little. It really is a pretty plant! Thank! Crazy.
Hi! Oh no. Another must have plant. I have been checking to see where I can find it locally and found a greenhouse that will be getting them in towards the end of April. They told me to e-mail them later and they will save me some. I did add to my order from Botanus as well. These ones will probably go into the garden by my roses and then I'll lift them in fall. I've spent way too much on plants this year already. And the greenhouse season hasn't even started.
I received my Ligtu that I order from Botanus the other day, but for some reason they only had 1 root in the bag instead of 2. LOL, I phoned and they're sending out another one asap. I just hope they will root now since it was kind of small ;)
Sharon, I must of got yours. My Ligtu alstroemeria from Botanus had 3. But when I opened the bag of my Lutea alstromeria ( the yellow ones), I found....peat moss. I'm going to e-mail them. I agree the roots seem kind of small. But then I don't know how big they actually get. Everything else from Botanus seems quite good.
LOL, you got mine, that's where it went!
I've potted the one that I have and its under the fluorescent lights, so Im hoping life will happen. If they dont sprout in 2-3 weeks, Ill be asking for a credit, but everything else in my order was good ;)
Peggy, Botanus is excellent with customer service, no 100 questions asked they'll get on it right away, such wonderful bunch of ladies working there!
Shelley, I replied to your post too last night and thats gone too...grrrr ;(
But, nope, lifeless! I wrote an email to Botanus and they are giving me a credit on my next order. I think I'll buy a full size plant if I ever see one in a nursery.
Thompson and Morgan carry seeds for Ligtu hybrids and Dr. Salter's hybrids, they require some time in the refridgerator to sprout, which may be why the seeds aren't coming up for you. I have ten or eleven little babies sprouting for me right now, I hope they make it, as when I tried it last year they all died. I think I transplanted them too late or not gently enough.
These plants are definately one of my favorite buys this spring. I highly reccomend Princess Lilies.
Two of my three Ligtu have grown. They are small yet and haven't produced any blooms. I'm thinking that I might have to bring them in the house before it freezes and treat them as house plants. For a while anyways.
Both Oxanna and Zavina haven't quit blooming since they came home with me. They seem to be a bit more aggressive. I'm hoping that I have luck keeping them over winter.
Well, I think Princess Oxana is going to have to join Princess Sara next year. I love that one, Shelley. I didn't get to post a picture of mine this year and now they are starting to fade. They were absolutely full - solid flowers in both 16" pots. They will probably do a second flush of flowers but not quite as prolific as this past one.
My niece came over the other day and now wants me to force them a bit earlier for her June wedding next year. So, if mine fade early this year, I will give them an earlier rest and start them earlier in the winter. Do you think that would work?
I don't know Shauna, your the expert on Princess Lilies not me. Honestly, I'm thinking even if you don't let them rest sooner, you should be able to force them to bloom earlier. Alstoemeria comes from much warmer climates than ours and nature puts them to bed late and wakes them up much sooner. What do you think?
WOW, Shelley, those are gorgeous. I saw them in pots at Wal-Mart a year or two ago, but I didn't get them because they weren't hardy, and they were expensive. I didn't realize then that they had tubers you could overwinter. I'll be looking for one (or more) of these next year. Thanks for sharing all the info.
Shelley, those are gorgeous! I just may need to get a friend for "Sara" too!
Shauna, the ones I got from you this spring have been going non-stop! They are slowing down now but they have been amazing!
I'm looking forward to seeing how they will do for me in my little storage area in the basement. I did overwinter some geraniums and anemone down there last winter and they survived --- must be OK for alstroemeria then!
Alstoemeria can take a fair bit of frost. We had several nights down to -7 or -8 and they did freeze a bit, but the tops totally haven't frozen off yet. They were still blooming and had tons of buds on. But because of the forecast I brought them in and put them in the basement to go to sleep for a while. One of them had a fair bit of moisture in the soil yet, so I'm leaving that one upstairs until it drys out a bit more.
Does anyone think that this is a necessary to do this or can I leave them in damp soil?
I just bring mine in, with no real regard as to their moisture content and put them, intact in the pots, in the basement for a few months. They don't seem to go moldy and eventually dry out. After I repot them in January, I don't water them until they start to sprout again.
Hope this works for everyone. If you have any other "system" please share and we can all compare notes.
Thanks Shauna, I'll put them all downstairs. When you repot them in January, I am guessing that you bring them upstairs into the warmth. Do you put them near a window so they have sun? I definately want these plants to grow for me next year. BTW my alstoemeria that I got from Botanus never did bloom. I'm hoping that it is a different story next year. I probably got them too late in the spring because they didn't really start growing until June.
My Princess Lilies never did take a rest. I just kept pulling the shoots off. But all are replanted now. I did divide everyone. The roots filled my pots, so it was quite easy to do so. My Oxanna even wants to start blooming already, but I have pinched the buds off. Silly thing. (My DM Oxanna is budding as well.) After reading this thread again, I see that Shaunna repotted hers a bit earlier. I'm sure that it won't make a difference.
My Litgu Alstomeria did take a break. Now I am just waiting to see if this one had made it. I finally brought it upstairs into the warmth and light.
How is the Alstromeria doing for the rest of you?
Mine are still in my 'pit' with all the other pots of cannas, dahlias, callas, begonias, etc. They do have yellow shoots and have had shoots all winter. I guess in the next few weeks I will need to take them out and start watering and giving them more light. I divided them in half when I purchased them last year so this year I don't think I will need to do so. But I will see what they are like when I bring them out of the 'pit'.
Mine are still in the basement storage room. I checked on them several times and noticed white shoots on them all winter long. I've been wondering about when to bring them up to the living room and let them get started for the season. I will be doing that pretty soon based on info in this thread! I can't wait to see them get going again!
How's everyone's alstroemeria doing now? I brought mine out of the basement and re-potted it about a week ago. The soil was quite dry and there were no shoots of any kind. But some of the roots seemed to be still fleshy and weren't totally dried out, but I still haven't seen any signs of new shoots appearing. Do you think there's still a chance it'll sprout? It looks so dead right now :(
I am just new to alstromeria and in keeping it over for the winter. Laurie, could alstromeria be similar to begonias, dahlias and cannas where there is a little sprout on the tip of the crown of the root? I am sure that there is a special name for that but I don't remember it right now. Did yours have anything like that?
I guess I should be getting all that stuff out of my basement shortly also. Cannas, callas, begonias, alstromeria, etc. all need to come out.
I brought mine up about a week ago (or so) and there is one shoot that is still completely green. So far that's it though. I keep putting my nose to the soil to see if anything else is coming up! LOL Last year when I overwintered anemone I kept thinking it was goners and then all of a sudden there was a itty bitty sign of life! Soooo... I am holding out that alstromeria is the same way? **fingers crossed**
Ang, did you repot them? I've got one of mine repotted and there were tons of new tubers formed. Plus the tubers were all tangled through each other. As soon as I got it repotted and thinned out a bit, it started to sprout within a day. If you have a green shoot, it is very much alive. I take out all of the single tubers but start up new plants with the multiple tubers. Yours are "multiple tuber" babies.
I've got to get the other one repotted tonight. It is loaded with new green shoots, many of which will be gone after I repot it. I don't think they flower as well unless they get some room in the pot. You will be shocked at how many are there. I'm tempted to leave this one alone this year, but the soil level was too low last year and I want to rase it up anyway. Plus, i want these two big pots for my niece's wedding in June.
Shauna did you say that you had yours potted in 16" pots and the roots filled the pot? Because the roots on my 'Camilla' certainly didn't fill the 16" pot that it was in. In fact, the roots were only a little larger than when I transplanted it. There's still no green showing on mine at all. Maybe it's only this variety that isn't as vigorous as the rest?
Give them another year, Laurie. Mine have filled the pot for the last 2 years (totally wrapped around the base of the pot and right down to the bottom). I think that's why I'm being pretty adamant about the repotting. But, I don't think they were quite that aggressive in the first year. I know that I had to repot them, though.
That's great, Sharon, that they are showing sprouts. Those should start to grow pretty fast, now. And thanks for the correction on the tuber vs. rhizome. I saw that website awhile ago and found out it was a rhizome. That seems to be one of the things that I always mix up - what is a rhizome vs. what is a tuber. lol Some MG I am. Time for some much needed review of some basics.
I stopped in at my DM yesterday to water her plants. My Alstroemeria is at her place. My have they grown. Oxanna and Zavina are more vigorous than Julietta and Stephanie. This is no different than last year.
I'm just glad to see that they all made it through the winter.
I'm going to be on the look out for different varieties this year. They are such a gorgeous plant when in bloom. It is just too bad that they don't have a nice fragrance.
I'm going to be watching for a new one, too, Shelley. I'm thinking that Ella would look nice sitting pretty with my Sara. They are such a reliable, no fuss container and I like how you have all the different ones. Interesting that some are more vigorous than others.
Good thing that to dump it out means that I'd have to walk through a 3 foot snow drift to get to the compost bin. So it's got until the snow melts......then it's gone! But really, the old stems are dried to a crisp and the crown is kind of going mushy. Not good signs.
I went for a walk through the Greenspot the other day, where I originally got this one, but they don't seem to have any in yet.
I phoned the Greenspot this morning. They said that they have 7 different varieties this year. $9.99 each. We would be able to use our Westman Gardener discount of 10% off on them which would bring it down to $8.99ish. They are not quite ready for sale so therefore they were not on the sale floor yet. That is why you did not see them the other day.
Shauna, I did repot them and WOW what an instant difference! Whoo-hoo! I've now got 3 new containers going from one original container. Sadly, the other container (stored in the same spot) didn't make it. It was definately goners..... BUT I do have 3 new ones going! Yay!
Wow, those are my grandchildren!!!!!! I'm a grannie!!!!!!! LOL
I end up throwing some out every year that I'm sure would start new plants but I just don't have the pots or the soil to pot them all up. I keep the main plants and the multiple offshoots but I throw out all of the single offshoots. I'm sure that they all have an eye or two that would start up. Most times there is more multiple shoots than I can use. I still haven't got to repotting my second pot. I have to get to it in the next few days. If anyone is in the Edmonton area and wants some, send me a message with contact information. You'll have to come to pick them up and they will be bare root stock. I'm in the deeeeep saaoouuttth of Edmonton.
I just bought an alstromeria last year and it is greening up nicely. I have it in almost full sun.
I have a few questions, I read in a post that you should pull some of the stems, does it matter which ones? Does that make it fuller?
Also, sometimes they fall over a bit is that normal or should I stake them?
Id like more but rarely find in nursery. Is there a good site to order from?
Lastly, how does everyone fertilize, I like organic if possible.....
Thanks...love the pictures everyone. One of my favorites.
It doesn't really matter which stems you pull, but I tend to do mine evenly throughout the pot. I was told by the greenhouse that I originally purchased mine from that this does make the plant stronger, healthier and better blooming. But, you only do it when the shoots first start to appear in the early spring. castarter, I'd really hate to advise you as to exactly what to do, considering your zonal difference. I am presuming that yours could stay in the ground year round. The plants we grow here are all in pots, which we have to overwinter indoors. If yours are inground, they should spread quite rapidly, considering the rhizome activity that seems evident in the potted plants.
I haven't had any experience with mine falling over. They seem to stay fairly full and compact. Perhaps you have a slightly different variety or we are experiencing quite a zonal behavioral difference in the plant? If they are falling over, I don't see any reason why you couldn't put a low plant ring around them to keep them up.
I don't seem to need to fertilize mine. Perhaps some nice compost tea would give them a bit more intense colour and bigger blooms. Does anyone fertilize theirs? I just checked the website and they said that they should be fertilized as they are heavy feeders, especially in a pot. I'm always a bit of a light feeder. I've killed too many things over the yeas by overfertilizing.
The other suggestion I was going to make to all is that, if you want some, perhaps ask at your favorite reputable garden centre if they could take your name/number to call you when they get them. They do seem to go extremely fast when they arrive. You could try to contact the website that is linked in this thread and see if they can tell you the garden centres in your area that order from them.
I've been wondering about when to start fertilizing mine? The shoots are getting nice and full now but I'm thinking when we start up plants from seed we don't fertilize right away, so wondering if it's the same with plants started from rhizomes?
Personally, I'm not going to start fertilizing mine yet. I transplanted mine into new soil so they can wait until it warms up more outside. But once I move them outside they will get a shot.
I've never watered my plants with fish tank water, so I don't know how much it helps.
I've been fertilizing mine, 1/2 strength of 20-20-20 about every 10 days.
Laurie, don't give up, I had one pot that took quite awhile before I seen a sprout. The others are doing great.
I'm wondering if you would get fasters sprouts if you lay the rhizome horizontal instead of buried vertically and just lightly covering with vermiculite or whatever starting mix you have. Maybe try that next time?
Okay, you guys are just too good at enabling. After all this talk about alstromeria, I just had to check them out at the Green Spot here in Brandon. Can you say WOW??? I managed to restrain myself and only bring one home (Oxana) but they were all drop dead gorgeous.
Thanks, folks. :)
BJ in SW MB
I think that maybe I'll keep up with the fishtank water for now. Our tank has live plants in there and I give it fertilizer from time to time. Probably once it goes outside I'll give it fertilizer along with the rest of the plants and keep the tank water for my houseplants!
Sharon, I checked my calendar and it's been about 6 weeks since I planted my first(original) rhizome, and there's still nothing. It's been about 3 weeks since I planted the ones from Brenda and nothing either......soooooo when I happened to be in the Greenspot yesterday, 'Oxana' jumped into my hands and begged to be taken home!lol They were in full bloom and simply spectacular, and like BJ said they were "WOW"! So how could I say no? ;^)
Since Shelley claims that Oxana is more vigorous than some others, maybe I'll have better luck with that one. Time will tell if I can over-winter this one any better.
May I introduce all of you to Princess Isabella? She and her twin, also named Isabella, jumped into my arms yesterday at Arch greenhouse in Edmonton. I think they will look pretty nice with my Sara.
They've got lots of them right now at Arch, for anyone interested in the Edmonton area. They're priced at $15 for a 6" pot. A bit steep to what Brenda found at Greenspot. How big a pot did you get, Brenda? If anyone sees them at a better price than this, let us know.
Gee, we keep this up and we're going to have every colour between all of us. Anyone interested in setting up trades next spring?
Sounds great, Shelley. I think I paid about $8 to send some to Sharon, about a 2 hour drive away, and about $12 to send it to Marcia in Ont. Is that right, gals? I just erased my e-mails on that today. Anyway, sending them to each other is probably alot cheaper than buying them.
I'll put my name in for Oxanna and Zevina. And I'll easily be able to send out Sara and Isabella. The Isabella pots have about a dozen healthy sprouts in each. Should be lots next year. If it is the same as this year, I should have about 8 trades, 4 of each. But, I guess I shouldn't be putting the cart before the horse, eh?
Shauna, i cringe when i think what you spent to send them to me. Especially since i seem to have killed them.... :`( I'm so sorry. I think my house is too dry for some things. Even though i watered them well when they were planted, they seem to have dried out. I even searched around catalogues to see if i could replace them and pretend - but i couldn't find "Sara" anywhere. So now i have to confess. I'll have to send you a whole lot of something to make up for it!!
Yes Shauna, it was about $8 postage just to send 2 hours away, but all 4 pots that I started are doing wonderful! I can't wait for them to bloom.
I'll be looking hard to see if any of the nurseries around here will be selling them, hopefully I can get on the trade train with you gals next spring.
That's OK, Marcia, you don't have to send me anything. It was good to try it. Are you sure they're dead though? Did you empty the pot out? They may just not have started yet. Sometimes they may stall a bit. Obviously, though, if the roots are hollow and dry, there's nothing left. Maybe that they froze drastically in the package on the way there. Honest, it's okay. Nothing's changed. : )
I've put mine outside, even though we're getting sleety snow right now. My dear kitty decided that the large pots looked alot like a litter box again so I had to move them. It was so nice out that I put them all outside. How silly not to have looked at the forecast. But, they can tolerate a few degrees of frost, so they all should be fine. It's supposed to hover around +1 or so as lows for the next few days. I've been tossing towels over them at night. And now that they are outside, I want to leave them there.
Sharon, I'm glad to hear that you got 4 pots out of them. That should give them plenty of space to get a good system going below the soil.
It is a deal Shauna. I see that you have put yours outside already. Then I should bring mine home and start to harden them off. The 2 that I repotted earlier-Julietta and Zavina have filled the 16" pots with shoots already. They are going to be so full this year. Can wait for the blooms.
Yes, Shauna, i checked the roots and they were all hollow. My cannas died this winter too. Last year, they wouldn't stop growing, and this year the bulbs dried right out. Of course, it's the time i "owe" someone else some bulbs - she gave me some yellow cannas last fall. Speaking of which, i have to find them.... :)
Shelley, I'm thinking that you may be correct, but I haven't found mine on the website, either. I saw Sara in bloom at the greenhouse that I just bought Isabella at and it looked very much like yours. How about for now we call mine Princess Shauna, just among us friends? LOL My brothers always tell me that I'm a "princess". In the meantime, I'll send my picture to Holland and see if they can identify it for me. Thanks, Shelley. I've made a few references to the color of mine being different. I probably should have sent it to them before for clarification. Ang, Sharon and Jocelyn, I'll get to the bottom of this yet.
I thought I would post part of an email that I sent. It was an observation when I replanted my Princess lilies.
One thing that I did notice and whether it makes any difference, I can't say. I had my 4 Princess lilies in dark Grey pots. My mother had hers in a black pot. My Lutea was in a white pot. The root system on my mothers Oxanna was massive compared to mine. (she neglected hers while I babied mine and they were both bought at the same time.) My Lutea from Botanus I did find one tuber in to re pot. (I just re potted this lonely thing) All of the pots were roughly the same size. And they were all kept in the same area for the winter. I'm wondering being that this is a tropical plant that it likes the heat from the darker pots.????
What colour pot did you grow yours in? I want to know if it made a difference.
Mine are in large, white patio pots. But, it certainly is a valid theory. I'll plant my Isabella's into darker pots and see what happens next spring.
Here is the reply from Royal Van Zanten regarding my inquiry of identifying my Sara alstromeria. Interesting, but now we know for sure.
I just like to confirm the variety in the picture in fact is Sara.
Though it is true that in different climates, colours do come out a bit different, so some variance is possible.

Maybe yours will revert to the same as mine Shelley. We can informally say that it is the Far North Sara.
Ok, girls my order is here. 3 have little white sprouts and one has none. Not sure if the white things are roots and should be planted down or if they are flower stems and they should be planted up. Maybe just plant horizontally and they'll find their way up on their own . Any advise appreciated.
In answer to your question on what color pots to plant in and also why leaves and no flowers, I found this info:
"If the soil temperature rises too high (above about 22 degrees Celsius) the alstroemeria plant puts its effort into producing more large tuberous roots at the expense of flowering shoots. With some varieties this can lead to production of exclusively blind non flowering stems and no flowers. This is presumably a defence mechanism of the plant to store food and water in its roots in preparation for an impending drought.
This can be important for the gardener and is a good reason to use a mulch and to plant where the roots are in the shade. Pots or tubs can heat up much more quickly than the open ground so be careful to ensure that they don't spend all day in the full sun."
I have a few stems growing, and have read in earlier posts here about pulling the first stems off. They are growing quite slowly, only 5 shoots so far. How long should I keep pulling off stems, and should I fertilize now or later please.
Definitely the time to stop pulling off stems. Just leave them for the rest of the year. I've also had mine out for a couple of weeks now. But, they seem to have stalled quite a bit this year, with this cooler spring. Once it warms up, they should just take right off.
I'm so thrilled to find this thread! I worked in a garden in Big Sur, CA with the tall variety and fell in love. They are practically a weed there -- a glorious happy weed that just keeps on blooming! Now, I buy the cut flowers every two weeks at Trader Joes.
Just found and bought my first Princess version and am hoping to winter it over in Wisconsin. Your posts make me think I might be able to pull it off.
Oh dear .... I'm feeling the urge to go get another ....
Thank you, thank you!
You're right, Sharon. They are quite different, aren't they? But, maybe it's the climatic change between Wainwright and Edmonton? Yours look more like the picture of 'Sara' on the Princess® Lilies website.
My new 'Isabella' have just bloomed in the last few days, too. But, I'm still waiting for my 'Sara' pots to bloom. This year, they seem really, really slow. I think the cool spring has not been good for mine. Plus, I probably had them outside just a tad too early.
Enjoy the show they put on for us, everyone. Now that they're blooming, they should be pretty much non-stop for a couple of months, anyway.
So, how many of you are bringing in your alstromeria in, to overwinter in the house?
Who is going to grow them as a houseplants?
Who is going to put them into the basement, discontinue watering them and bring them out in Feb/Mar to start again?
I have 2 (Oxana and Theresa) and will be growing them as houseplants in my sunroom for the winter. I tried the cold storage method last year and they dried out too much.
Last year, I let the frost take the green on the plants for the most part before I put them into my DM dark rumpus room. They never really stopped growing. This fall I divided some of mine for trades and will be trying to grow these in one gallon pots under lights. The others, I am going to do the same with as I did last fall.
This is a wonderful thread. Thanks to all of you for the information on growing alstromeria. We have only enjoyed them as cut flowers until now, but we thought we would try to grow them next year. We live in Stevensville in western Montana which is probably USDA zone 4 and Sunset zone 1. We've had good success with dahlias although they must be dug up and stored over the winter. I had thought we could do the same with the alstromeria, but after reading all of your postings, it sounds like they must be treated more like geraniums here and kept in pots.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any growers in the US from whom to order the tubers. If anyone has found a US grower, I'd appreciate the name or the link.
Continued good luck with your beautiful plants.
Mine are still blooming their fool heads off in Wisconsin ... in November. Can we say "climate change?" We've had enough frost to kill back the zinnias and startle to nasturtiums, but it hasn't bothered the alstromeria. I can't stand to put them in the basement until they show some signs of distress. Should I just DO it???
woost2, I just brought my pots in last week, too, in "sunny" Edmonton. I just started to divide my big pots and repot them. They've started sprouting again since I brought them in. That's a first for me. Anyway, I've received Shelley's trades and am dividing up a trade for her. I've just got into my first big pot of 'Isabella' and easily got a big piece for you, Shelley. The balance, I have divided into 4 pieces and will now spread around the pot.
I didn't divide either of my 'Isabella' pots when I bought them last spring. I just transplanted them. They are in slightly large patio pots (16" tapering up to 18" ) than my 'Sara's' and at least this first one doesn't seem to be quite as prolific a root system. But, it still has quadrupled in size since the spring. If the second pot is the same, I won't be doing any more trades on them this year, unfortunately. There should be ample though for next year. Seems to me that 'Sara' needed two seasons, too, before I had so much excess. I'll let you know tonight or tomorrow how much 'Sara' there is. Silly me. I forgot to bring my potting soil in last night and it's frozen solid already. It'll be tonight at the earliest that I can pot them up and I've got the four big pots and Shelley's 3 to do. Wow, getting to be a big job but definitely a worthwhile one.
I'm thinking of doing a mixed pot and seeing what results. This year, I'll just do 'Sara' and 'Isabella' together. Whatcha think? Next year, hopefully, I'll do a pot of 'Sara', 'Isabella, 'Stephanie', 'Oxana' and 'Zavina'. Might look like a very pretty dog's breakfast though.
OK... I put my large pot of Sara in a dark corner of the basement and ignored it until now. I have one smaller pot I've kept under lights as well.
The big one is putting up the ghosty sprouts. I yanked them all until yesterday and have now put the pot out where it gets a bit of window light and some castoff from the tube lights. I can put it on the table under the full lights, but figured I'd easy it into the light.
I'm wondering if I should pot it up, repot it in the same pot (which is big and heavy as I want to carry up and down the basement steps) or leave it another year? Assuming it actually survives ...
The little one I will pot up. I bought it late in the season and never got around to repotting it. Bad me.
Totally agree, Shelley. I would pot it up now and divide them a bit. That always helps, too. If you've got a big pot that produced well the summer before, you should have lots to divide to spread around the pot. Be prepared to do up another big pot's worth.
I finally finished re potting all of mine and then hauled the last lot to my mothers house. (She's gone...off to Kelowna for the winter again). The ones that I replanted a couple weeks ago look great already.
Out of all the ones that I have...Sara seems to be the slowest. No extra divisions were taken off that one this year.
I also did like you were planning on doing Shauna. I did up a mixed smaller pot of Oxanna and Zavina. I'm kind of anxious to see how it looks.
I haven't had any luck with the nurseries around here in getting any. They tell me they don't carry them because they stop flowering here once it gets too hot. Maybe the humidy has something to do with it. I told her I'd take my chances if I could get some, but that didn't help either, their suppliers don't offer them she said. What time of the year do the nurseries in your area carry them potted up? Wonder how much the shipping would be for one potted and in bloom already. My Calgary daughter is probably coming home the 2nd week of March. Probably too early to have them out yet. Going in hospital Feb 20th (4 more sleeps) for my hip replacement. Would be a nice get well surprise, don't you think?
Does NB get hotter than Wisconsin? My first attempt did terrific in full southern sun in Madison. I had it in a large, heavy clay pot and it bloomed its fool head off until I finally brought it in, mid-November. The first place I ever saw these short varieties for sale was in Rochester, Minnesota at a grocery store! It gets hot and humid there, too. I had just come from a visit to Big Sur, CA where I had fallen in love with the taller variety (they are virtually weeds in Big Sur) and was so surprised to see them.
I have to say that mine enjoy the heat. I have them in full sun all day in a protected part of the yard. Last year it turned cooler and rainy for the latter part of the summer. They slowed down during time.
They sell like hot cakes locally here. If you do not grab.. then they are gone.
They might have been looking for an excuse to not carry them.
I've tried emailing a couple of the Calgary Garden Centres over the weekend, but no responses yet. My daughter said she'd check areas for me, but she was moving again on the weedend, and probably hasn't had time yet. Well tomorrow's the day. Probably won't be posting for a bit. Maybe I'll have a nice surprise when she comes home 2nd week of March.
Good luck, bloomorelse. My sister-in-law is getting her hip done this spring as well - she's been walking with no hip joint (congenital) for 55 years, and it's really starting to slow down her gardening. Hopefully you'll both be back on your feet and back in the garden in time to enjoy the summer.
Thanks Connie. I've only heard good things of people who've had it done. May not be able to move established plants around this summer, but I should be able to get down to weed and plant with a small shovel. The key is to do the exercises and a lot of walking once I feel a little better.
Hope to be back here dreaming of Spring soon.
I've got blooms! My first attempt at wintering over in the basement seems to have worked. I put one in a dark corner and kept a second under lights. They appear identical in their growth and flowering at the moment. I did pot up the one under lights (it was in its original nursery pot) but not the one in the dark. Will try dividing this fall, should we survive the summer.
We've had an oddball spring for southern Wisconsin. No real heat and nights in the 30s even this week. Temps not bothering the Alstros. But germination is the pits in the veggie garden.
To all of you Alstro fanatics - I LOVED all the info on this thread. I'm just getting ready to overwinter my first plants. Are they happier divided in Fall before allowing to dry and rest or in early Spring when you wake them up? And have any of you tried cross pollinating varieties and growing from seed?

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Fault Lines on the city's homelessness crisis
05 Feb 2012 20:00 GMT | Africa, Gabon, Mali, Tunisia
Mali beat Gabon 5-4 on penalties in Libreville on Sunday after this finely balanced Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final ended 1-1 following extra time.
Barcelona star Seydou Keita converted the decisive spot kick after the co-hosts' top striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang watched in disbelief as Mali keeper Soumaila Diakite saved his effort.
The Eagles' reward is a semi-final date with Ivory Coast back at Libreville's L'Amitie stadium on Wednesday.
Cruel twist
For Gabon, who were unbeaten in the first round, this was a cruel end to their campaign, reviving as it did memories of their defeat on penalties to Tunisia in their only other quarter-final appearance in 1996.
Gabon's attempted charge into the last four was spearheaded by the 2012 Nations Cup joint top scorer Aubameyang and Daniel Cousin, the captain, retaining his place.
Mali welcomed back midfielder Samba Diakite from suspension, with Garre Dembele dropping to the bench, and keeper Diakite coming on for Oumar Sissoko.
Among the crowd were the Gabon president and his First Lady sporting as usual the Panthers' yellow shirt.
The Panthers, displaying their customary zest and endeavour, were showing good early pace down the wings, especially Eric Mouloungui on the right, with the ever dangerous presence of Cousin waiting to pounce in the Mali box.
Aubameyang had the first gilt-edged chance approaching the half hour, beating the offside trap to flick the ball past Soumaila Diakite only to see his effort hit the far post.
As the first half wore on Gabon began to look the more dangerous - the Mali keeper did well to keep tabs on Mouloungui's menacing low 25m freekick in the 42nd minute.
Gabon got the goal they deserved in the 55th minute when Aubameyang raced onto a high ball from the left, his back pass across the box falling to Mouloungui to slam past Diakite.
That was the Nice forward with the Mohican haircut's fifth and most important international goal.
Seconds later down at the other end Didier Ovono Ebang's gloves punched away Mali striker Modibo Maiga's attempt at an equaliser.
As the game exploded Cousin almost bagged Gabon's second on 58 minutes, the unmarked former Hull City forward's shot skimming past Diakite to hit the far post.
Mali coach Alain Giresse tried to shake things up after the hour, introducing striker Mustapha Yatabare for Abdou Traore, and shortly after Rohr surprisingly replaced captain Cousin with Fabrice Do Marcolino.
Mali were fighting for their Nations Cup existence and with six minutes left in regulation time Diabate levelled not long after entering the fray in place of Samba Sow, the Bordeaux striker turning to shrug off his markers in the box and leaving Ovono with little chance.
Rohr knows Diabete only too well, having signed him during his days as coach of Ajaccio.
The two sides were still deadlocked after extra time - Keita shot high in the last seconds - and Algerian referee Haimoudi Djameil pointed to the spot for the nerve jingling climax.
After Diakite had saved Aubameyang's kick it was left to Keita to step up and coolly slot home Mali's fifth to send the Eagles' spirits soaring while the Gabon team rushed to console a tearful Aubameyang.

Helping grown son
My son, age 25, married, has a good job, 2 step-sons, very responsible, kind... My husband (his stepfather for the past 16 yrs), and I have helped my son, for instance he was laid off so we helped him make his mortgage payments. He just got back to work but got into a car accident. He's ok but his truck is no longer driveable. He was cut off and hit another vehicle. I feel so badly for him.
How much is too much when helping grown children out? He doesn't ask for anything unless he absolutely needs to, he knows I'm always here for him. I just feel so badly as he tries so hard. I feel like helping him get another vehicle... I'm helping to fight the ticket as it wasn't his fault even though he hit a car but it was due to the actions of another vehicle. I'm helping as in calling the place/helping pay...He's done so well, just makes me want to help as much as I can.
He's had his share of hard knocks due to my instability in my young years up til age 8 and a so n so for a biofather. Pretty good after that but rough first years.. Am I trying to make those yrs up or am I just plain and simple, wanting to help a good son out?
Personally...he's 25, he's a grown man, not a little boy, he has to learn how to do things on his own. He does NOT need your help fighting the ticket. He has to learn to live on his own income, and as far as helping him get a new car...that's up to you, but often things are more apreciated when you have to work for them on your own. You can't make up for how things were "way back when" you can only go on from now. and when he was 8 and now he's 25...boy that's a long time to have to make up for mistakes of the past, doncha think?
"Am I trying to make those yrs up or am I just plain and simple, wanting to help a good son out?"
Probably a bit of both. The bottom line is that he is your son and loving parents will always want to be there for their kids. If he really NEEDS a bit of help and you have the means without hurting your own finances and it doesn't create discord in your own marriage certainly you should help him if you desire to do so.
Perhaps you could compromise and give him a low or no interest loan to get over the hump?
It sounds like you have raised a responsible young man. He takes care of his own and only asks for help when really needed. If you like, help him find a car. Doesn't have to be a brand new one, just something reliable that can get him back and forth to work. Buy it for him and then he can pay you with interest. I'd let him work out the accident incident by himself. He may ask for your opinion on what to do, but he should be handling that affair. Do I think you are over doing it? Nah, doesn't seem that way to me. You aren't smothering him and never letting him fall and make his own mistakes are you? Just wanting to help out when asked. NancyLouise
Isn't the insurance going to help him get a new car? Does he have Cadillac tastes on a Chevy budget? He does need to learn to live within his means. He does need insurance and to learn why he needs it. Help him as you can without denying yourself, but let him do the majority of the lifting so he can be a man who knows he has made it on his own. It is good that you are asking these questions; finding a balance is the key.
I so agree with Vickey, in that being grown, which 25 is, should ACT GROWN. When you are dead, he will have to take full resposibility for himself. Why make him learn that responsibilty for the first time THEN? You are truly not helping him be an adult to his full potential by cleaning up life's messes, one by one, when they happen. I think as parents we have somehow given the message to our adult children that we will always be there for them. We won't be....not always. So, shouldn't they feel proud of their own abilities to gain financial independence without us and our assistance? Wisdom is obtained by learning....and learning is obtained by the consequences of our choices. All parents owe their children the right to those learning choices and the positive feelings that result from knowing one did it all my oneself. How can a child ever truly be an adult if he is not totally self sufficient? Having Mom pay your mortgage and assist you with a ticket, is still being a little boy....... No matter how old he actually is.
A parent always wants to help their children out and even give them things they would not otherwise be able to afford. And I think that's more than fine if you can afford it and the "child" is a responsible adult.
He is suffering the consequences of something over which he had no control....why not help him out?

I disagree with some of the other comments about your son not being "grown up" enough to take care of his own life.I wonder if any of you have had hard times as such and how you got though them. My husband was out of work for a few months because of an accident at work and for those months my paycheck was not enough to cover rent, food ect. We also had one child and one on the way and had to ensure my childs needs were met first and foremost. As in needs I mean a roof over his head and food in his belly. So I do belive it to be the more responcible thing to ask a parent for help then not. For a few months my in laws did help with rent and yes did buy us another used car when my husbands died. If they couldn't have helped us then we would have probally been kicked out of our place and both my husband and I would have more then likely lost both our job's with no means to get there and I hate to think what might have happened with our kids since we wouldn't have been able to support them. I will also mention any tickets my husband has got, his sister has taken care of all the paperwork and fee's and so on to fight them, since she is a paralegal. It is because she cares that she does it. My husbands family cares enough to give us a hand from time to time when we need it. We do always pay them back and have the comfort in knowing that we can count on them when in need. I call this type of relationship a real family. As a real family helps one another out when they are in need, and they don't turn thier back on you and say figure it out for youself. I think that is great you can help your son out Lyndielu2007. I don't think you are trying to make up for bad years or anything, but that you care enough to be supportive of him and his family in times of need. You can't change his early years, but you are there for him the most when he is in need, which is what matters.
Is your dh upset by you financially helping your ds out? If yes, then it is something you have to work out with him. If not, I think you are doing what any mama would do. At 25, your son is an adult, but at that point in life it is hard to have money saved up because you are just getting started. Your ds sounds like he is willing to work, but his luck has been against him. At his age, there aren't a lot of financial reserves. I'd help him out if I could.
When I was younger, a bit older than your son, we lost our home and business, it was a disaster, very tough times. This was about 20 years ago. My parents just sat by as we floundered about, we ended up moving further away from the city, getting a small loan and buying the worse house. I was very unhappy for ages. The one thing I do remember, they "sold" us their car for a coupla hundred. I think that was their way of helping and it means such a lot to me that they did that.
My point is...we went through the hard yards, and have grown immensley from that, if they had "rescued us" I am sure that we would not treasure, as much, what we have today.
I really think, for us to grow, we must learn from our experience and become proficient in working out how to deal with our problems.
it's good of you to want to help out. i wish i had people like that in my life when i was young. that said, you are a loving mom to your son. you take an active part in his life and provide love and stability. you are doing exactly as you are supposed to. he is an adult. let him grow up and fight his own ticket. allow him to continue on this journey knowing you have done your part and have given him wings to make his life on his own.

The B.A.A. Invitational Mile races, held this year on the Saturday before Patriot's Day, are now as much a part of the Boston tradition as is the 26 miler. The events comprise races for middle school and scholastic athletes from the eight cities and towns along the Marathon course, followed by elite miles featuring some of the finest tracksters in the world. The B.A.A. Boston Marathon is all about excellence; that standard permeates all events, all weekend. The B.A.A. Relay Challenge allowed younger kids to participate as well.
In the past, Morgan Uceny had to fly all the way from Mammoth Lakes, CA, to win the B.A.A. Invitational Mile.
This year, she just took the Green Line.
"I took the T from my house this morning, all dressed in my uniform," said Uceny, who re-located to the Boston area along with her coach, Terrence Mahon, this winter. "That was pretty special."
The 2014 B.A.A. 5K was one for the ages, as thousands of runners took to the streets of Boston in celebration. Ethiopia's Dejen Gebremeskel set a new men's event record of 13:26, while Providence, Rhode Island's Molly Huddle came from behind to win the women's race in 15:12. In total, more than 8,600 runners finished the race, held two days prior to the 118th Boston Marathon.
The Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) today announced an elite field of Olympic Games and IAAF World Championships medalists and returning champions for the 2014 B.A.A. 5K, to be held on Saturday, April 19, two days prior to the 2014 Boston Marathon®. The 2014 B.A.A. 5K will have a field size of 10,000 entrants and will start and finish at Boston Common. The race is sold out. A prize purse of $39,900 (USD) will be awarded equally to the top male and female finishers. In addition, professional runners are eligible for a $5,000 (USD) bonus for event record times established at the B.A.A. 5K. Bonus incentives will also be available for professional runners for multiple top finishes at B.A.A. events in 2014.
The Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) today announced an elite field of Olympic Games medalists, returning champions, and world class competitors for the 2014 B.A.A. Invitational Mile, to be held on Saturday, April 19, two days prior to the 2014 Boston Marathon®. Defending champion Nick Willis (NZL), a silver medalist at 1500 meters in the 2008 Olympic Games, highlights the men's field. Two-time B.A.A. Invitational Mile champion (2010, 2012) and 2012 Olympian Morgan Uceny (Boston, MA) will look to win a third title. The B.A.A. Invitational Mile will also include Middle School 1,000 meter races and Scholastic Mile races, featuring youths from the eight cities and towns of the Boston Marathon course.
As the City of Boston prepares for millions of visitors over the next week culminating in the 118th Boston Marathon, city officials today released detailed public safety plans for Boston's approximately 2 miles of marathon route. Teams of leaders in government and the private sector have worked for months to develop these plans to ensure a safe and successful series of events.
The 118th Boston Marathon® on Monday, April 21, 2014, and surrounding Marathon-related events including the John Hancock Sports & Fitness Expo and the B.A.A. 5K, will bring an estimated $175.8 million (USD) in spending impact to the Greater Boston region, the highest-ever Boston Marathon spending impact, according to Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau (GBCVB) President and CEO, Patrick Moscaritolo. Held annually on Patriots' Day, the Boston Marathon is the world's oldest annual marathon and ranks as one of the world's most prestigious road racing events. The Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) has managed and organized the Boston Marathon since the event's inception in 1897.
With less than two weeks until the 118th Boston Marathon® on Monday, April 21, 2014, the Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) outlined changes to this year's event. As it has since its inception in 1897, the Boston Marathon will be held on Patriots' Day, a civic holiday commemorating the Battles of Lexington and Concord. For the 29th consecutive year, John Hancock Financial Services is the principal sponsor of the Boston Marathon, the world's oldest annual marathon. Participants will follow the historic 26.2-mile course, which starts on Main Street in rural Hopkinton and finishes on Boylston Street in Boston's Back Bay. This year's race will see changes in some areas for participants, spectators, and the public.
The Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) today announced that several former champions of the Boston Marathon® will return to participate in events surrounding the 118th Boston Marathon, to be held on Monday, April 21, 2014. Champions Joan Benoit Samuelson (ME; 1979, 1983), Amby Burfoot (CT; 1968), and Gelindo Bordin (ITA; 1990) will join 36,000 entrants in this year's running of the world's oldest annual marathon.
The Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) today announced that defending push rim wheelchair division champions Tatyana McFadden (USA) and Hiroyuki Yamamoto (JPN) will compete in the 2014 Boston Marathon® on Monday, April 21. McFadden and Yamamoto will lead a field size of 63 athletes that also includes past Boston Marathon champions, world champions, Paralympic champions, and world record holders. For the 29th consecutive year, principal sponsor John Hancock Financial Services will provide the prize purse for the race. The men's and women's champion will each win $15,000 (USD) in prize money. The wheelchair division awards a total of $60,000 (USD) in 2014.
1935 John A. Kelley
Born in West Medford, Massachusetts as one of ten children, Kelley ran track and cross-country at Arlington High School in Massachusetts. He did not finish his first Boston Marathon in 1928, but eventually competed in a record 61 Boston Marathons. A legend of the marathon, Kelley won the 1935 and 1945 runnings of the Boston Marathon. He finished in second place at Boston a record seven times. Between 1934 to 1950, he finished in the top five 15 times at Boston, consistently running in the 2:30s. He ran his last full marathon at Boston in 1992 at the age of 84, his 61st start and 58th finish there.

Mauldin leads Avalanche past Wild
DENVER The Colorado Avalanche leaned on newcomer Greg Mauldin in their best offensive performance of the season.
It's a trend that might have to continue for some time after the team learned star winger Chris Stewart broke his left hand during a second-period fight with Kyle Brodziak.
Mauldin, recalled from Lake Erie on Nov. 11, scored two goals to fuel Colorado's four-goal burst in the second period, and the Avalanche had a season-high goals total to beat the Minnesota Wild 7-4 on Saturday night.
However, the game took a toll on the health of the Avalanche, who saw Stewart, John-Michael Liles and Daniel Winnik all sustain injuries.
Winnik left in the first period after being struck in the right leg by a puck. He left the ice under his own power but was limping noticeably and will be re-evaluated Sunday. Liles was dazed after sliding into the post and hitting his head midway through the second, but returned to the game.
Colorado coach Joe Sacco said it's unclear how long Stewart, who has a team-leading 11 goals in 23 games this season, will be sidelined pending a re-evaluation of his injury by team doctors Sunday.
However, he said he did not fault Stewart for the way he was injured.
"Hockey is a game of emotion and things happen during the course of a game," Sacco said. "Of course, you wish it didn't happen. You never want to lose any player. And Chris is a big part of this team. But we'll deal with injuries as they come. Somebody else will have to step up."
On Saturday night, it was Mauldin, who also had two assists. The four points in a game are the most by an Avalanche player this season and a career high for Mauldin, who spent six years in the minors between his NHL debut with Carolina in March 2006 and his recall from Lake Erie by Colorado two weeks ago.
"After toiling in the minors for so long, you start to question yourself and then after I got a couple games up here, you get more comfortable and I start to tell myself, I can play at this level," Mauldin said. "Grinding and playing with energy, I can do that for a team. A night like tonight, I'm not going to count on that every night. What I'm going to count on is my energy and my hustle."
Sacco said that's the kind of approach and attitude that will help the Avalanche weather the loss of Stewart.
Trailing 2-1 entering the second, the Avalanche tied it on Mauldin's first goal of the night 2:45 into the period. They surged in front with a three-goal flurry over a 2:11 stretch, including Mauldin's second goal at 7:50 of the second, in which he collected a rebound off the post and knocked it past goalie Niklas Backstrom.
The Avs regained the lead on Milan Hejduk's power play score at 7:18 of the second. They pulled away to a three-goal advantage 1:21 later when Kevin Shattenkirk gathered in a loose puck along the boards near center ice and skated just inside blue line before firing a slap shot that beat Backstrom. Shattenkirk extended his points streak to six games, the longest by a rookie defensemen this season.

I have a set of Epics that of which some do and some do not have a value for 'Epic Name'. The field is a required field, but it was not when these issues were created. I want to query all Epics for which Epic Name is not filled out.
What I have tried so far:
These queries
- type=Epic AND "Epic Name" = ""
- type=Epic AND "Epic Name" = empty
- type=Epic AND "Epic Name" is empty
- type=Epic AND "Epic Name" = " "
Unlocked the 'Epic Name' field in the database
Digging around in the database leads me to believe that these issues to not have an associated custom field 'Epic Name' at all, so it doesn't have a value of Null - it just doesn't exist.
How could I find my Epics that do not have an Epic Name associated?

Hi bit of a noob here sorry, please bear with me.
I have the Gigabyte mobo Z77X-D3H with the Via VT2021 chip which supposedly can do DTS Connect and what have you, but there simply are no options for it, perhaps down to Gigabyte.
So to play games in 7.1 I assume I need a sound card. Can anyone please tell my which ones offer this ability oir what exactly I need to look for?
Many thanks.

You do not need a sound card as you already have DTS built into the motherboard.You will need to configure your setup. Enter the Windows Audio control panel to see the option to enable DTS.

No there honestly is no options for this, and the mobo doesn't say it will do DTS anywhere.
However, please ignore DTS...
Sorry to clarify I want to use my XP500 7.1 headset which is apparently Dolby Digital only not DTS. I've seen some articles about Dolby Digital Live but I haven't managed to solve my issue, I really don't know enough about it.
Budget... well whatever it takes really lol.
