Hello friends.

This is a shot of an Alstromeria which is a beautiful flower with lovely details. I hope you all like this picture.

Below are few details about the flower. Hope it's useful.

Scientific classification:

Kingdom: Plantae
Angiosperms
Monocots
Order: Liliales
Family: Alstroemeriaceae
Genus: Alstroemeria

The plants are distinctive vegetatively, with a rootstock consisting of a slender rhizome or group of rhizomes (the "crown"). Storage roots consist of sausage-like water storing structures "suspended" from the rhizome by major roots. In this way the root system resembles that of dahlias. Above-ground shoots may be very short in some alpine Andean species (a few cm tall) or up to about 1.5 m tall in other species. Each year (more often in some hybrids) up to 80 new shoots are produced from the rootstock and each terminates in an umbel of a few up to 10 or so flowers.

Thank you for visiting and your comments.
