The Persian city of SHIRAZ has been known as the city of poets, wine, and gardens throughout its 1300 year history. As the medieval poet Saadi, who made his home in SHIRAZ, wrote: Every leaf of the tree becomes a page of the book, once the heart is opened and it has learnt to read. The multifaceted and complex floral pattern in SHIRAZ unfolds like an epic poem for the enlightened, filled with adventure and beauty.
