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.
