Meet the Alstroemeria — The Flower That Has It All

If you haven't fallen in love with the Alstroemeria yet, allow us to introduce you. 🌸 Also known as the Peruvian Lily or Lily of the Incas, the Alstroemeria is one of our absolute favourite flowers here at Fleming Florist — and once you discover it, we think it'll become one of yours too.

What Makes Alstroemeria So Special?

The Alstroemeria is a truly remarkable flower. With its delicate, trumpet-shaped blooms and striking streaked petals, it has an exotic beauty that belies just how hardy and long-lasting it actually is. Available in a stunning range of colours — from soft whites and blush pinks to vibrant oranges, reds, purples, and yellows — there's an Alstroemeria to suit every taste and occasion.

They Last and Last

One of the biggest reasons we love Alstroemeria is their incredible vase life. While many flowers last 5–7 days, Alstroemeria can stay fresh and beautiful for up to two weeks with the right care. That makes them exceptional value and a wonderful choice if you want a gift that keeps giving.

To get the most from your Alstroemeria:

• Trim the stems at a 45-degree angle every few days
• Change the water every two days
• Remove any leaves below the waterline
• Keep them in a cool spot away from direct sunlight and ripening fruit

Perfect for Every Occasion

Alstroemeria are incredibly versatile. They work beautifully as a standalone bouquet or mixed with other blooms. They're a popular choice for:

• 🎂 Birthdays — bright and cheerful in vibrant mixed colours
• 💐 Thank you gifts — elegant and long-lasting
• 💍 Weddings — stunning as filler flowers in bridal arrangements
• 🏠 Home décor — a cost-effective way to keep your home looking beautiful

A Symbol of Friendship & Devotion

In the language of flowers, the Alstroemeria symbolises friendship, devotion, and mutual support — making it a truly meaningful gift for someone special in your life.
