Petals in the city


Flowers and plants will grow anywhere if they can get established. Here in Molise villages, towns and cities rarely have gardens but there are often flowers in pots on balconies or outside on the doorstep.

The colours are vibrant brightening up passageways in the old villages.

In cities like Campobasso the capital of the region there are still glimpses of colour in gateways and even growing on abandoned houses.

Growing up in England I have always been used to tidy lawns and neat manicured borders but here it is very different. If you had a lawn in the north of Italy they used to call it an English garden.

Flowers add beauty and colour to any environment, even in a city or a village street.

Here are just a few of the flowers I have seen here over the last month.
Once again even in the colours on a city street Molise has captured by heart ... I hope it captures yours too ,...... Here is a slide show of flowers in Molise this summer,,,
