ALSTROEMERIA
Alstroemeria, also know as the "Peruvian Lily" was born in South America. The famous botanist, Carl Linnaeus, named the flowers after one of his pupils, Clas von Alstroemer. Clas sent Carl the seeds in 1753 after he’d collected them on a trip to South America. Alstroemeria is said to symbolize the power of friendship & mutual bond of support between 2 people due to alstroemeria's leaves growing upside down, with the leaf twisting as it grows out from the stem, so that the bottom is facing upwards - much like the twists, turns & growth of our friendships.
This lily comes in a variety of colors due to extensive breeding.
