PS tabs dedicated to Michelia is written the name of this tree comes from the Italian botanist Pietro Mechel (1670 - 1737) while we know (since it is one of our favorite botanical) that the correct name is Pier Antonio Micheli and his birth year is 1679 . If anyone can point out the typo, the authors (perhaps with a mail) may be happy to make this correction, to the benefit of Italy, the Italian botanists and culture of trees.

Food Exchange For Almonds



Today is the feast of
all the trees of Italy.

Here we are finally on the day (the first edition with a different name) Tree National Day, a celebration that will see today and tomorrow planting thousands of trees across Italy. A festival dedicated to our friends the trees, plants living beings, that every day we dispense oxygen, shade, beauty and culture. A party on the rise (a small seed planted) that will certainly be open to further improvements in the next few years (we have already talked about this in a previous post). An appointment and an opportunity to focus our attention, often distracted by other stimuli and thoughts, trees, to touch them, hug them (if not We've never done this before) or simply look up the top and watch them for a moment and realize their silent presence. Good National Tree Day for all.
