No need for photoshop or filters (or even a great camera) when you've got Tulipa acuminata growing in pots and flaming around in the sunshine. I apologise if I got its name wrong, but am not sure what to call it. Botanists seem to be squabbling over it. #tulipaacuminata #tulips #hornedtulip #turkishtulips #tulipagesneriana #tulipaagenensis #lamacchinafissa #askanexpert #speciestulips #iwantmore #tulipexperts #flamingtulips #mezzogiardiniere #aprilinitaly #aprilgarden #associazioneculturalereadingretreatsinruralitaly #gardensofinstagram #iggardeners #inmygardenthismorning (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcOOd3VonKO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sunflower seeds from my friends at @bustaffa.florovivaisti They are like Covid, coming in different phases throughout the year. This first phase is kind of dark and scary. #girasole #girasoli #sunflowers #brownsunflowers #lamacchinafissa #associazioneculturalereadingretreatsinruralitaly #inmygarden #inmygardenthismorning #helianthusannuus (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce3itLvo5AO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The goats like towers and platforms and toys in their area. The peacock just wants mirrors. He can strut back and forth and sit there for hours a day, just enjoying the view. Thank God he doesn't have an Instagram page. This kind of self-obsession could get boring. #peacock #peacocksofinstagram #lamacchinafissa #associazioneculturalereadingretreatsinruralitaly #pavoni #instapride #selfobsessed #iamsosexyandiknowit #bringmemoremirrorshuman #specchio #pavoneggiarsi #gorgeous #perfectineveryway #instagramgod (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce3gRW1IxjL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Z is for the common and cheap Zinnia, the annual composite flower loved a century ago but not seen in sophisticated perennial borders or high-design gardens of the 21st century. Is it the mold that accompanies them late in summer that makes them so unwanted? And Z is a loving salute to Zizia, or Golden Alexanders as they are known in English. Such a sweet member of the carrot family. I love you both, the loud annual and the whispering perennial. Z is for you. #hollingtonartist #hollingtonsflorilegium #zinnias #zinniasblooming #whitezinnia #whiteflowers #asteraceae #lamacchinafissa #cheapandcheerful #oldfashionedflowers #sowitandgrowit #countrygardens #ruralitaly #clarkanthonylawrence #associazioneculturalereadingretreatsinruralitaly #zizia #zisforzinnia (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CevVdvWIFTV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Keep it loose. Little pumpkins and gourds need to be gently coaxed up structures, not strangled to them. Allow for a bit of movement and fattening of the stems. They climb in nature, so would climb without your help. You are just encouraging them to grow in a direction and way that allows for maximum sun and air circulation. #coax #encouragedontforce #loose #gardenphilosophy #cucurbitaceaefamily #pumpkinsandgourds #mezzogiardiniere #clarkspumpkinparadise #zuccheovunque #organic #pumpkintunnel #zucche #provinciadimantova #associazioneculturalereadingretreatsinruralitaly (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeoCmN6oSmx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Bad" weather can turn into beautiful skies. We have had some much needed rain. This area of Italy is often home to 50 predictable shades of blue, from the blindingly, cloudless bright sky of summer to foggy grey blue of winter, so when colours and clouds roll by and give us full-drama sunsets, the cameras come out. I already know this sky will be an Instagram star for Mantuans today and tomorrow. It was spectacular. #sunset #lapianurapadana #borgovirgilio #idrovora #pumphouse #gorgeousclouds #provinciadimantova #lamacchinafissa #50shades #50shadesofblue #poriver #porivervalley #alongthemincio #fiumemincio #associazioneculturalereadingretreatsinruralitaly (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CemjPbWog4D/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A new painting has arrived at La Macchina Fissa. Gregorio Bellodi painted his beloved Alessia as she was sleeping. Here we see the black of her dress and hair used masterfully as a colour, just as Manet used it, or Orest Kiprensky in his Portrait of Pushkin (1827). I saw the canvas unfinished about a year ago in their studio in Mirandola (Modena) and immediately fell in love with it, just as it was. The feelings it evoked reminded me of certain Russian realist paintings of the 19th century that I saw in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow: Valentin Serov/Ilya Repin. I begged him not to finish it "too much" and he knew precisely what I meant and exactly when to stop. Then I begged him to sell it to me, and the rest is history, or I should say tonight is part of its history as it arrives in a new home. This is the largest canvas Bellodi has done so far and I couldn't be more proud of him as a painter (or his muse and collaborator). They are both extremely talented artists and great friends. #gregoriobellodi #alessiabaraldi #insettixilografi #oliosutela🎨 #oiloncanvas #newpainting #housemuseum @insetti_xilografi #artistsofitaly #mirandola #friendsfromyearsago #borgovirgilio #quadrinuovi #art #mostreamantova #associazioneculturalereadingretreatsinruralitaly #celebratinganewacquisition #celebrate #blackpaint #blackisacolourtoo #blackisacolor #portraitpainting #figurativeart #ilyarepin #valentinserov (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeXBKSNoFSw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ferns. Never have I thought I have too many, but often I have thought I have too few. This is the latest arrival. Not sure about the name, or if it is frost tollerant.
