Hi Nick.

This is a Alstromeria, sometimes called a Peruvian Lily. My florist tells me that these have such longevity that they often use them on cruise ships - a bouquet just lasts a long time.

A nicely composed photo. I have shot these several times and have never really come away with anything that I am happy with.

Thank you Nancy
