Pink alstroemeria

Native to subtropical South America, Alstroemeria is named after Claes von Alstromer, a Swedish botanist and traveller who brought its seeds to Europe in the 18th century. When Spanish botanists began to cross the wild Alstromeria with other plants, cultivated Alstromeria blossomed in conservatories. Thanks to the Spaniards for enriching the world of cut flowers with such romantic, delicate, tender blossoms. Pink alstroemeria flowers are about 5 cm in diameter and resemble those of orchids, lilies or azaleas. These flowers come in a variety of colours: lilac, greenish-yellow, pink with beige and white with golden tones, and in a shade of cherry blossom. Alstromeria cut in a vase bloom for up to two to three weeks, producing blossom after blossom. Of course, they need minimal care to avoid premature wilting.
