I don't know if this helps at all but in my research I found out that
Bomarea and Alstromeria DNA is indeed different. That is to say Bomarea has
x=9 whereas Alstromeria has x=8. The reseach I read said that 3 of the 4
subgenus of Bomarea all had x=9 so it was expected the 4th to also be the
same.
Nan I am curious where you got your plant from. Would you mind telling me
offline as I always want to grow another one:)
