WebsiteHow passionate do you think Florentines are about irises? Well, the city's coat of arms features an iris, and every year the Giardino dell'Iris at Piazzale Michelangelo holds an international iris contest. The specimens are selected according to their colour, shape and fragrance. Guess who gets a special prize: the flower that bears the closest resemblance to the iris flower on the coat of arms! Admission is free. See website for yearly particulars.
