Hello. I visited Florence in the celebration of the " XXth Mostra de Camelie in Firenze '. It was in April, 2005. It was celebrated in the "Palazzo Budini-Gattai". I wrote an article for the magazine of the SEC.

Between many Florencia's gardens, the Boboli is a place of visit, always. One of the most important Italian gardens of the Renaissance. You ask in the entry of the "Palazzo Pitti", if you can visit the collection of camellias of the " Giardino di Boboli ". I write to her a few directions of Nurserys in Firenze.

They can advise her. Also Wikipedia's direction URL with Florencia's gardens. Florecia was, the most important place of Italy, in the diffusion of the Camellia.
¡¡¡What beautiful city¡¡¡ Still I sit Stendhal's syndrome.
Regards.
Daniel.
