Flower Photo: Purple Birthday Bouquet

Purple Flowers Bouquet Photo

As promised, here's a photo of the pretty purple flowers that Ogre picked to go with my sunflower bouquet for my birthday. I planted the picture in Google, and the closest visually similar image in the search was the Rhododendron genus. But thanks to Hetty and Kate, I finally know that they are Alstroemeriam, commonly called Peruvian lilies.

How To Plant Your Own Post for Flower Friday:
The only rule to play is that you can only add one link per week! The post doesn't even have to mention flowers, but only ones that do will be eligible for being picked as a feature next week. I will be sharing my flower image on other blog hops, namely Wordless Wednesday, and welcome all family-friendly links from fellow bloggers. Crafters can even link up an Etsy listing or other shop product! But if you want to promote a prize, please add it to my Giveaway Chest Linky instead to entice more treasure hunters.

Please follow my blog through any of the social media icons in the upper right sidebar to receive a reminder to return next week. Adding my button or a text link to your own blog and sharing to your followers is also a fairy appreciated way to help my hop grow.

  6. Yes, I think Hetty's right, Alstroemeria or Peruvian Lily. They come in all sorts of colours but that deep purple is unusual.

  8. I just did ever such a silly thing. First of all I want to thank you for visiting my post. Now comes the apology as I accidentally deleted your comment. I do this occasionally, usually when it is late at night and I am extra tired. Really shouldn't be on here when I am half asleep. So sorry :(

  13. Kristin, these purple tiger lilies (that is what these are, right?) are a welcome treat on these last gray days of winter. I'm so ready for spring blooms to pop up and greet me when I go outside. The wait is almost over, isn't it? Happy #WW! ;)
