Alstroemeria

The Alstroemeria aka "Peruvian Lily" or "Princess Lily" plants have been full of blooms for several weeks now. Last year I planted just one- the pink one, shown in the top photo.  This spring I added another one- with purple flowers that look pink depending on the light.  Alstroemeria is a common plant in floral bouquets and symbolizes friendship.  I love the streaked pattern of the inner petals- so pretty.

Pretty Pinks

Good morning folks!  I hope you're all doing well.  I'm still at it- working my full time job and trying to get as much done as possible in my back yard before the heat of summer sets in.  When summer arrives, I'm basically done in the yard.  I'll water and deadhead my flowers and that's about it.  The intense southern heat zaps all the energy from this old gal- after a few minutes of working in it, I become limp and useless.

Have you done any spring planting yet?  I thought I'd share a few shots of the pink ones I've planted, since I have several of them...


Pink creeping phlox
Goldflame honeysuckle
New guinea impatiens
Pink caladiums
I love the wavy foliage of these

Pink and red ones
These are more of a traditional variety of caladiums

Thank you for visiting.  I wish you a wonderful week ahead.
