Lots of gardens to visit but we were recommended this one, Taranto Gardens, by friends Lin and Rob - nice one! Pictures below self explantory and if you want the history see this
link. Filthy rich Scots person basically with interest in travelling and plants - and you have this:
VICTORIA CRUZIANA
The genus Victoria, original of the areas of the big rivers of South America (the Amazon, Paranà),counts the specimens of the biggest dimensions of the family of water lilies. During the periods of greatest vegetative activity of the plant (June–July), the leaves almost reach 2 m. in diameter. Used to carry babies on in native Amazon.
More gardeny things next week with a visit to top attraction - Isola Bella - another 50 year on memory!
