Andrew:
Still no Crocus but we did find this,

Spiranthes spiralis or Autumn lady's tresses.
Finally at the last site of the day we found it.


Crocus robertianus.
Over the new bridge to the Peloponnese.

Today was Mt Chelmos.
On the plain we found,

Viola graeca

Hyraycem sp.


Ameria canescens
After an hour's climbing, this was the view for dinner.

In the misty distance is Mt Parnassos,

and looking down onto the plain.

Andrew:
Thank you Paddy, but there's more, lots more. :D

David Nicholson:
Andrew, so glad you are continuing with this one. Lovely pictures

Andrew:
Just as we were going to leave, this was found,

Sternbegia colchiciflora.
Another morning and a different Sternbergia,

you really had to be there to appreciate it,

Sternbergia sicula.
Also here were some,


Crocus biflorus melantherus forms.

Larkspur sp.

Petrorhagia sp.

Another insect with nice wings

and a butterfly, Anthony !

Andrew:

Another nicely coloured beetle.

? !

A skink ?

This view might not be around much longer as out of shot where some very large concrete foundations which had appeared since the leaders were last here :(

Happy at the moment was this German helmet tortoise.
On the way to the hotel was C. hadriaticus

but take a second look at it

and a nice clump of them.

An atomspheric shot from the hotel that night

and the view in the morning, the Byzantine city of Mistras, which was the destination for today.

Crocus group.
