A flamboyant, substantial, and free spirited double, Bella Ciao is a recent van der Veek introduction. Large blooms, a good grower, currently rare and limited but she has higher aspirations. We are partial to the Yves Montand version (yes Yves was Italian). And the people who shall pass (And all those who shall pass) Oh Goodbye beautiful, Goodbye beautiful, Goodbye beautiful! Bye! Bye! And the people who shall pass (And all those who shall pass) Will tell me: "what a beautiful flower" (And they will say: "what a beautiful flower") This is the flower of the partisan (And this is the flower of the partisan) Oh Goodbye beautiful, Goodbye beautiful, Goodbye beautiful! Bye! Bye! This is the flower of the partisan (And this is the flower of the partisan) Who died for freedom
