Azienda Agroambientale Cassinazza di Baselica

As La Cassinazza gradually reverted to a more natural landscape, plants and flowers were free to recolonise this newly available land.
Some species, particularly trees and shrubs, were planted on purpose, but wild grasses and most flowers colonised the area spontaneously.
Starting in 2004, the many species of plants flowering over the course of the year began to attract our attention, and we began to record their appearance. This led to a desire to document their presence and create a photographic archive.
We thus gradually built up an archive of images, which can be considered as a sort of virtual herbarium.
Being rank amateurs, we were naturally drawn to the most conspicuous flowers - in terms of colours, scent, abundance, or shape - and therefore our herbarium makes no pretense of being complete, nor scientific in approach.
Quite simply, it contains the species that most captured our attention.
