فلورنسا الزهور

In the Tuscany region one can find the city of Florence. Home to works by some of the great Renaissance masters there is plenty for residents and visitors to see and do. Along with the Uffizi Gallery and Medici Chapel the city is also home to the famous Boboli Gardens. The gardens are home to several sculptures from the 16th to 18th centuries, along with a stunning array of native and imported plants and flowers. One sight not to miss are the roses which can be found leading up to the museum. Large pink and white blooms fill the air with color and fragrance when the rose bushes are in bloom. There are also plenty of public and private gardens scattered throughout the city, and residents of Florence are especially fond of carnations, daisies and pansies. While you will only see mums during periods of mourning, tall gladioli are a common sight in front of shops and homes. The Orto Botanical gardens are another “must see” attraction, especially for nature lovers. Along with water lilies and exotic orchids, the gardens are also known for its collection of azalea bushes. One can also find an assortment of flowering cacti in the greenhouses.
