Resembling a miniature lily,
alstroemeria, often called the Peruvian Lily or Lily of the Incas, was named
after its discoverer, Baron Claus von Alstromer, a Swedish baron who collected
the seeds on a trip to Spain in 1753. Today, this popular flower can be found
in a range of colors – from white to golden yellow, orange to apricot, pink to
red, lavender and purple.
Symbolizing friendship and devotion, the alstroemeria’s
leaves grow 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 and growth
of our friendships.
