All’Orto Botanico di Palermo

Hermes.com > The Story Behind

This extraordinary garden is an Italian landscape where Mediterranean species merge with tropical plants in a wonderful bloom, and between the foliage of ficus, palm, and cycas, you can make out the romantic 18th- century architecture. Enter Palermo's botanical garden, a mysteriously lavish palace of greenery that François Houtin has wandered through at length to compose this opulent scarf.
