Italian Vocabulary: Flowers and Trees

I know that when we think of Italy, we think of food, and monuments, and shopping. But if you get a chance to stroll through a park, or even better, the rustic countryside, you will see many beautiful flowers and trees. What are they all called? Let's find out!

Cute accent, very good pronunciation. For a trip around nature, which would include also good spots for eating and drinking, I would suggest Toscany. Cheerz!

Goodney, I didn't know a lot of those in English...

Some botanical corrections, because I assume google images probably gave you some wrong results: -For hyacinth you don't show what's usually meant when you just say 'hyacinths' (Scilla) but the closely related genus Muscari (in English: grape hyacinths) -For jasmine (Jasminum) you show Frangipani flowers (Plumeria), a plant from Middle America, weirdly often used as an image for jasmine flowers on many pseudo-scientific sites who focus on the healing properties of jasmine, probably because jasmine flowers look a bit messy and don't look nearly as impressive as the superficially similar Plumeria flowers (what do they care about being botanically correct, they just want to sell their crappy products) -For the primrose (Primula) you show some willowherb (Epilobium), some of these flowers have 'primrose' in their English name although they have nothing to do with it -For the violet (Viola) you show a corncockle (Agrostemma), a formerly common flower in European wheat fields but which you now mostly will see in sowed-in meadows and in gardens. Probably showed up because of its intense colour, but even that is wrong because the colour of this flower is magenta, which is really quite far from real violet. If you find an image of a flower on google images, always check on Wikipedia whether you really got the right flower, otherwise you might get surprisingly many wrong results. ;-)

Hi Professor.

[@broytingaravsol]

ciao is it possible to make a video about chemistry words in italian?

[@marcovoli]

Dear professor, be careful! The word "Salice" has the accent on the first syllable, not on the second last as most of the italian words. In any case, my compliments for your pronunciation..
