Pomegranates in the built landscape
Pomegranate (Punica granatum) along border wall in the garden at Hotel Casa Tra Noi, Roma - Summer, 2015. They are trimmed to retain open framework and short stature. Lovely against the evergreen vine. Pomegranates are ancient symbols of death and rebirth (the Tale of Persephone, death and resurrection, and fertility.)
