Alstroemeria (syn. Alstremeria), commonly called the Peruvian Lily or Lily of the Incas, is a South American genus of about 50 species of flowering plants. Such other varieties (or nicknames) include:
Alstroemeria 'Margaret'
Alstroemeria 'Parigo Charm'
Alstroemeria 'Rosy Wings'
Alstroemeria 'Salmon
Alstroemeria 'Sonata'
Alstroemeria 'Tall Pink'
Alstroemeria 'Walter Fleming'
Someone, somewhere along the way, gave each of these varieties their distinct name. It would be hard to say why for sure.

'Sweet Laura' is the name of a specific cultivar not a common name to the species as a whole. However 'Sweet Laura' is one most often used by the florist trade so it is often mentioned, in a familiar way, by this abbreviation of the full name just as we say Kleenex for facial tissues.
