Plants
This section of the shop is dedicated to those products of which more specimens are available for purchase. For this reason, the photograph associated with each one is only an example and not an exact sale item, even if it is usually a specimen selected from those offered, or images of the mother plants from which it derives, and in this case the caption on the image specifies that it is just an example. These images therefore faithfully represent what the customer buys.
In addition to the photographic image, each species is accompanied by a short description of its salient features. We did not consider it necessary to insert the botanical description of each product, of which there are abundant references on the internet, as well as detailed information on its cultivation. This information, albeit of an indicative nature, will be provided on the pages dedicated to each single genus or category which can be accessed by selecting the navigation icons above this text.
