Hanging Purple Garden of Florence, Italy

Photographed in the Giardino di Boboli in Florence, Italy, 2010

Are they lilacs? I think so, but then again, I think every flower this colour is a lilac. I’d make a terrible botanist.

I absolutely adore this image. I believe the flowers are a wisteria. Stunning purple tones.
