Hi. Does any out there have an idea what type of flowers would
typically be in bloom in Italy in April?

We're producing a community theater version of a play that features an
castle in northern Italy in the spring. There is much dialogue about an
offstage garden being in bloom, and characters walk on carrying flowers
several times. We'd like to be as accurate as reasonably possible but,
so far, haven't been able to ascertain what flower varieties would be
seasonal at that time.

If any of you know, either from your travels or another reliable
source, please chime in. Time is running out and we need to get some
things ordered. Thank you for any assistance.

Well, I was in Rome for Easter and there were hanging clusters of purple
flowers on vines everywhere. Common name, too, but I'll be darned if I
can think of it right now. If someone knows, please fill in the blank. I
will remember when I hear it.


Wisteria! Ha. I knew I'd remember it eventually. And they were gorgeous,
too.
