Alstroemeria is my faithful flower friend for altar arrangements. It's beautiful, inexpensive, comes in a wide variety of colors, is available year round, and lasts two to three weeks (at least!). I even find its form to be i nteresting enough to stand alone in a vase of greenery. This week the flower selection at the grocery store was dismal and my garden hasn't quite started blooming. I decided to focus on a lot of lush greenery (pittosporum, laurel and camellia) with some burnt orange and yellow alstroemeria. I think these colors look lovely with the green and gold vestments!
Altar flowers for the Traditional Latin Mass, vestment restoration and more.
