A genus of flowering plants native to South America, popular as ornamental flowers with colorful blooms.
Named after Baron Claus Alströmer, an 18th-century Swedish naturalist and botanist, following Linnaean nomenclature with the '-ia' genus ending.
Florists call these 'Peruvian lilies' and use them constantly in bouquets because they last incredibly long in a vase—yet most people don't know their name, making them perhaps the most popular anonymous flower in the world.
