Friendship Flower



The Alstroemeria or for better recall, the Peruvian Lily, is said to symbolize friendship. Its leaves twist as they sprout from the stem outward. The symbolism may have sprung from the same way the plant evolves. Interesting.  They come in many colors and nuances. Some are striped, some are not.

I remember a friend of mine who referred to her different groups of friends as her different tribes, each with their own subcultures and interests.  We belong to our own cliques, clans, factions, not necessarily out of tune with the rest of the world, just more drawn to those who have the same inclinations as we have.
