flora

Common reed (Phragmites australis) is a perennial, rhizomatous grass typical of wetlands, found on almost every continent and present in all regions of Italy. It forms dense colonies along the banks of lakes, ponds and canals.

The red rhododendron, or Alpine rose (Rhododendron ferrugineum), belongs to the Ericaceae family and is the type species of the genus Rhododendron; the specific name derives from the rust-coloured scales covering the underside of the leaves.
