Crikey! Do they?  How very worrying - I must be more careful of the company I keep, I think. My so-called pals seem to be leading me astray...... :-[

A good comparison of the small variations that can be found and what can tickle your fancy.  One or two really nice ones amongst them.  Thanks for showing them Matt.

 ;D

Their full beauty was truly revealed en masse in their native habitat, taking in the whole experience the small variations in the individuals became insignificant. I never even thought to try to compare them or seek out anything 'special' when I was there.

I've tried arranging the pics with the green marks increasing in size, left to right, top to bottom. The differences are subtle, but I guess there is someone somewhere would probably try naming them all?  ;)

A great montage showing a good range of variation - more than we have in cultivation maybe?

Some seeds collected from Greece are starting to germinate.

A mystery woodland shrub from the neighbouring Neokaria Gorge, Pelops.

This is the 'mystery woodland shrub'. Does anyone have any clue as to an ID?

Sorry, the leaves are in focus whilst the seed head is a bit blurry, but you get an idea of it's structure/form.
