Hello, Luis, The talk I mentioned is not online, sorry. There are several Alstroemeria species in Peru, so perhaps one of them would tolerate your region. If at some time you visit Chile and go to Valparaiso, there is a small town north of there called Pichidangui, and a beach below the coastal street there is covered with A. pelegrina (and many other good plants), growing in rocks where the waves reach. Another Chilean plant that grows very close to the ocean is Rhodophiala bagnoldii; it emerges and flowers only in wet years, as when El Ni~no occurs.
