Flowers of Tuscany

Geraniums with brilliant colors like sunset, sway under cypress trees of the scented hills, as April winds invite the anxious lovers not to engage in words; yet silence allows their romance... Daisies of bright yellow, as that they were painted on canvas by young and vibrant Giotto, who constantly pursued true perfection in his unique style; a shepherd boy he was: soon to be worldly famous as one of the greatest painters! And Florence like Naples, ignited his ambition and passion to make his striking paintings look so real... Lilacs of different colors, swarming the idyllic landscape, to give spring an exuberant gentleness and more essence; to make the observer fonder of their existence, and most-times the bright sunrise blends in to inspire whoever contemplates, to concede this transformation too unreal... Roses dangling from small balconies; gardenias gracefully waving in the the stone-paved square, bewildering me with their incomparable beauty! I stumble upon the wild flowers blooming abundantly, and I'm so amazed and unable to speak poetically: that you have made Nature an efflorescent Paradise of harmony! I will await three long seasons, and treasure these vernal petals; not fearing time or adversity...
