I think these are Peruvian lilies? (safe for cats?)
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I think these are safe for cats, right? I believe I'm seeing a mix of roses, Peruvian lilies, and Brompton stock, but I'm not an expert by any means, so I would love a second opinion.
You can distinguish Peruvian lilies (Alstroemeria) by checking for resupinate petioles. Look at the stalk of the leaf (petiole). If it’s twisted like 180 degrees so that the leaf blade appears upside down then it’s Peruvian lily and not a true lily.

Yes they are
Correct. OK for cats.

Is that the same as a freesia?
