Iryssima vs Messer Tulipano or Iris vs Tulips

This blog trats of a wonderful fair that every year is held in Pralormo (Turin), Piedmont, close to my cultivations. Usually I find a lot of cars slowing down my way to Govone and my curiosity grew, also because all Turin is covered with reclames for this unique exposition of around 80.000 colorfull tulips
This fantastic exposition is held in the gardens of the Castle of Pralormo, with quite a perfect match of ancient beauty and new nobility.

So on 23th April 2018 I went to visit it and it was time. The numbers are impressive but the total surface - for my eyes - quite reduced. The colours are quite amazing and the effect unique. Well "unique"... I would say almost unique, considering the iris cultivations of Iryssima.

In fact, having in mind the records of the images of Messer Tulipano (Mr. Tulip, but "Messer" is very old Italian) I went to Govone to see the Iris and their monotone colours.

I compare the pictures here underneath 1 tulips vs 1 iris:

Flowers vs flowers: what a beautiful and colourful fight!

Well, one (Messer Tulipano of Pralormo)  is a real garden the other (Iryssima in Govone) a simple fields. But I liked this little comparision.

I hope you enjoed the beauty of the nature: nothing is so elegant and unique like this.
