Drone captures stunning wildflowers in Italy

Telegraph, 07 Jul 2020
Just look at these wildflowers in central Italy.

The poppies, daisies and cornflowers emerge annually alongside the lentil crop on the Umbrian plain of Castelluccio.

It is known as the ‘Fioritura’ or natural flower show.

Sometimes it is more colourful than others, depending on the amount of rain that has fallen. This year, as though giving us a post lockdown treat, it is particularly vivid.

The wildflowers help the lentil crop grow by propping up the fragile lentil plants.

People come from all over Italy to see the stunning fields.
