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.

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 – twisting and turning as they mature, and trigger its association with the virtues of friendship and devotion and represent the growth and change found in long term-friendships

The hardy Astroemeria is a gorgeous flower that mingles various hues into a cohesive beauty. This bright flower represents friendship.
