Wonderful wildflowers, Vangelis!

I have merged all into one thread for Mount Olympus - you can post all in one thread, no need for a new one each time.  :)

That Aristolochia rotunda   from Kallidromon mt., late April is an interesting one.

I have replaced the plant names to your posts, Vangelis - in moving them I lost them from the titles.  :-[ :-X

Lovely photographs Vangelis, absolutely stunning.
I would normally have a preference for the orchids, but your close-up of Lilium chalcedonicum would have to be my favourite here. The montage of Dactylorhiza saccifera is a close second!  ;)
