I have no idea if pomegranate trees are native to Italy, although I suspect they are. But when I saw the Southern sun striking this ornamental plant in a nearby garden, that is where I was transported. For a little while at least. As I wandered around the 7 acre plot that day, I travelled widely, and that was a very good thing. I'm no gardener, but I can understand at least part of what drives some folks to invest the time and effort.
