I joined the 365-day Journal challenge for 2022 and here is my ‘Day 158.
June 7, 2022, Journal Entry:
Along a sidewalk in my mother’s community, these Alstroemeria flowers are growing and do well in the sunshine spot they are in. It seems to be a popular filler plant that I see around here. I edited this image this morning with a watercolor painterly style and texture.
Alstroemeria is native to South America, mostly Brazil and Chile. It grows from tuberous rhizomes and grows best in tropical climate; they do fine here in California. This variety of Candy Alstroemeria can grow up to 3 feet tall. They are also called Lily of the Incas or Peruvian Lily. They are named after a Swedish Baron, named Claus von Alstromer. He introduced this flower to Europe in the 1700’s. They symbolize devotion, friendship and commitment which also makes them a popular flower for florists to include in bouquets.
