Alstroemeria looks like a miniature lily but I find it has a more delicate appearance.
I love those spotted and striped markings and contrasting patches.
Alstroemeria leaves grow upside down, with the leaf twisting as it grows out from the stem so that the bottom faces upwards, much like the twists and turns of our friendships. That could be the reason why alstroemeria flower is a particular symbol of friendship and devotion.

Lovely macro!
Many times they are included in a bunch of roses and I used to ignore them because they were so small. I've grown to like them very much. I posted some today as well. :)
