Lovely blooming Peruvian lily flowers growing on a bush, also known as Alstroemeria.
They resemble lilies with their trumpet-like flowers, but they don't grow from true bulbs. From Wikipedia: "The flower has six tepals each up to 5 centimeters long. They come in many shades of red, orange, purple, green, and white, flecked and striped and streaked with darker colors. There are six curving stamens. The stigma has three lobes. The fruit is a capsule with three valves. Alstroemeria are classified as an inferior monocot, meaning the petals are located above the ovary and the leaves are parallel." (I just think they're pretty!)
