Also known as the Peruvian Lily, the Alstroemeria is a beautiful bloom that has an array of meanings but remains connected to friendship, love, devotion and strength. Traditionally given as a friendship flower, representing mutual support, the meaning behind the flower derives from its six petals, each one representing a different characteristic. From white alstroemerias that are symbolic of love and purity, to red ones that represent passion, there is a flower for every occasion and this crochet version will remain bright and beautiful throughout the seasons.
