Most alstroemeria have a distinct look with their spots and streaks showcased against their 3 pink, yellow, cream, or other color petals. And in most cases, these streaked petals show up against 3 plainly colored sepals. They are also well known for their 5-7 distinctively long stamens.
Subsequently, one may also ask, what does an alstroemeria look like?
Alstroemeria is a slightly zygomorphic (bilaterally symmetrical) flower with 3 sepals and 3, generally, striped petals. The sepals and petals on the Alstroemeria are similar in color and texture - i.e., there are no solid green sepals. Alstroemeria has six stamens and an undivided style.
In this manner, how do I open an alstroemeria?
To get the most out of alstroemeria stems, look for slightly opened buds just beginning to show color. Once home, flowers will begin to bloom over days with new flowers opening as earlier blooms fade. In a hurry and need blooms quickly? Submerge tight buds in warm water to promote opening.
