Winter in my part of Canada lasts a long time. We are buried in snow, and this part of the world seems devoid of vivid colour. I so enjoy looking at the flower photos from other parts of the world, as I peruse various photo blogs. I said to my husband last week, I can't wait until winter is over so I can photograph some flowers! Being the sweet man that he is, he brought home a bouquet of my favorite flowers to cheer me up, and give me an opportunity to take some pics.
Alstroemeria, aka Peruvian Lily or Lily of the Incas

ReplyDeleteAt least we are lucky that we can make them last in our photographs.
I have to say these are much more attractive varieties of lily than the ones we usually see in our landscaped environment in these parts.
