In particular where we stayed Le Sirenuse.
Cactus, Ficus, Jasmine, Lemon trees, Monstera's all growing like wild with nothing messy about it.
Lemon trees growing inside above and around the walls.
I definently got the book & movie The Leopard from all of this.
This is a great classic Italian novel. The movie, while slow to follow is beautiful in costume and setting. Now I really understand what Dolce & Gabbana was really speaking about when I made this BLOG ENTRY.
