Wherever I went in Italy I saw flowers. There were flowers on terraces, flowers in wall planters, on sidewalks and in gardens. When I looked up I could see flower boxes full of red and pink geraniums as well as petunias. The colors were so cheerful that they transformed many terraces into bright and eye-catching spaces. It was exciting to see so many flowers in bloom and one garden I visited in Milan was full of people having their pictures taken among the flowers.

Spring is a perfect time to see the new flowers and simply enjoy their fresh beauty.

I suppose you saw a lot of flowers when you visited Como lake. There the weather is fantastic for flowers. I understood that you didn’t stop in Milan, is it correct? Ciaoo Bea
