Flowers for Friday – congratulatory – unknown name
I’m not sure what these are called. I feel like we’ve had this discussion before and Squirl or Texas Seestor came up with the name. But I can’t find that post. Anyway, they are certainly the hardiest of all of the cut flowers. And when I looked at them up close, one of the prettiest.
and in large
I hope these perk up your day. I know looking at them cheered me up.

Texas Seestor says:
Lovely pictures. Glad to hear that these are holding up well. I think the name is astromedia.
squirl says:
Yes, I knew that Texas Seestor came up with the name. I’m glad she commented because I’d forgotten it.
They are gorgeous!
Amber says:
Beautiful flowers. For some reason they remind me of tiger lilies, even though I know that isn’t it. I really love flowers.
I got some daisies the other day that brightened up the place.
Anyway, you are doing great.

I thought these were called “astromedia,” too, but I have learned they are Alstroemeria (syn. Alstremeria), commonly called the Peruvian Lily or Lily of the Incas, is a South American genus of about 50 species of flowering plants.
