The beautiful Alstroemeria is also commonly known as Peruvian Lily, Lily of the Incas, and Parrot Lily. They are shaped like miniature lilies and they share a lot of common features.

In its native South America they were a symbol of wealth and good fortune.
Over the years, and with the growth of the flower industry, 190 different varieties of the flower became naturalized in countries all around the world.
