I love ferns more than life itself, so when I saw my friend Francesca at Ortocolto had a pair of antique French plates with ferns on them, I asked for a swap. I gave her two big pots of my Iris versicolor and a couple Algropdalein pieces in excange for this beauty. #barbotine #barbotinesanciennes #ortocolto #algropdalein #friendsfromyearsago #felci #ferns #fernsmakemehappy #ceramics (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CddR-vMIj8B/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@ortocolto is about plants and people. It is a place to... visit old friends, make new ones, share ideas and seeds, meet authors, eat fried dough or sloppy Joes (or pumpkin soup if you prefer) buy more baskets and antique watering cans when you already have a house and garden full of them, swap goods with friendly gardeners and artisans when the thunderstorm hits town and the sales slow down. #ortocolto #busseto #villapallavicino #algropdalein @herbarium_erbario_delle_fate (presso Villa Pallavicino) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdUOKl7oRGr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Getting ready for Ortocolto. Botanical boxes from a 2020 calendar that David Hollington gave us. Scrapwood and images that were too beautiful to throw away. Shit year all things considered, but good things follow. #botanicalillustration #lamacchinafissa #ortocolto #thankyoudavid (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN479YIFr15/?igshid=16iz7tdqcbe14
