Il numero di specie che appartengono al genere della skimmia è piuttosto dibattuto tra i botanici, ma a noi una cosa è chiara: dall’Himalaya e dal Giappone sono giunte fino all’Isola Madre. 💙 In autunno, le bacche verdi della skimmia diventano di un rosso acceso e restano sulla pianta fino alla primavera successiva. Sono così simili ai grani del pepe che il fiore viene anche chiamato “falso pepe”. . Volete sapere come riconoscerle? Avvicinate il naso, se il profumo è gradevole all’olfatto, allora l’avrete trovata. 👀 C’è un’altra curiosità che la contraddistingue... Ve la sveliamo nelle stories. . . . The number of species that belong to the genus of skimmia is rather debated among botanists, but one thing is clear to us: from the Himalayas and Japan they have reached Isola Madre. 💙 In the fall, skimmia's green berries turn bright red and stay on the plant until the following spring. They are so similar to peppercorns that the flower is also known as the "false pepper". . Do you want to learn how to recognize them? Bring your nose closer: if the scent is pleasant to smell, then you have found it. 👀 There is another curiosity that distinguishes it... We’ll reveal it to you in our stories. #terreborromeo #lagomaggiore #lakemaggiore #isolamadre #skimmia #nature #flowers

🖼️ #Berthier130 Immerso in un blu profondo, un giovane uomo dall’identità sconosciuta ci catapulta nella pittura di Leonardo, che, nell’Ottocento, si credeva autore di questa tela, oggi conservata nella Galleria Berthier. . La mano del pittore è invece quella del Boltraffio, che con sapienza è riuscito a mescolare il naturalismo espressivo tipico della pittura lombarda ai caratteri introspettivi e psicologi della pittura leonardesca. . Il ritratto rappresenta una delle opere più importanti nel percorso artistico del Boltraffio. Nelle stories vi raccontiamo di più su questo quadro così importante. . Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio Ritratto maschile 1500-1502 circa Galleria Berthier, Palazzo Borromeo Isola Bella . . . 🖼️ #Berthier130 Immersed in a deep blue, a young man with an unknown identity catapults us into the painting of Leonardo, who, in the nineteenth century, believed himself to be the author of this canvas, now preserved in the Galleria Berthier. . The painter's hand is instead that of Boltraffio, who wisely managed to mix the expressive naturalism typical of Lombard painting with the introspective and psychological characters of Leonardo's painting. . The portrait represents one of the most important works in Boltraffio's artistic career. In our stories we will tell you more about this very important picture. .

Il clerodendro fiorisce da fine agosto fino all’autunno inoltrato fino a colorare anche gli inverni più duri. . Sull’Isola Madre, si vedono già le infiorescenze a grappolo formate da tanti fiori stellati bianchi e rossi, cresciuti all’apice dei rami. 🌸 Quando le bacche saranno diventate blu-viola, avranno completato la fioritura invernale. Ormai manca pochissimo! . . . Take a clerodendron petal and rub it in your hands, you will be surprised by an intense perfume. 💐 Gardeners love this plant very much, but not just for its scent! The clerodendron blooms from late august till autumn and adds color even to the harshest of winters. .
