Alstroemeria

 
7"X5" Acrylic on board

Also known as the Peruvian Lily. This is another one for Valentines Day.
These are wonderfully long-lasting cut flowers, native to South America. I bought these in the market on Saturday, discounted to $2.00 a bunch because they weren't fresh bu after 3 days with a spoonful of sugar in the water they are still showing no signs of flagging. I bargain I think.

For even more long-lasting pleasure, buy this painting, $75 (+$10 S&H) and it is yours for ever.
