Re pic A83, previous page: I had no idea there were  lemmings in Turkey , especially not such brightly coloured lemmings.... :-X
nor, re A93, did I realise there were furry white cabbages up in the mountains ;)

Yes, thank you for the show!

I'm especially interested in the plants shown on pics A 84 to A 88 - a Legousia ?
and in the pink daisy from A 89 - is there a name for it?

VERY interesting series Cliff! Lots of sweets (not for me :'( ), breathtaking landscapes and lots of (many unknown) plants.
Really something to start with on an grey, wet, early morning like here  :D
Looking out for more to come.

Hundreds more to come, Luit.  Many thanks for the kind comments everyone.
My apologies, Gerd, but my only reference book for the area is the Blamey/Grey-Wilson tome; 'Wildflowers of the Mediterranean', which isn't a lot of help with either of your queries.

Assistance for Gerd and yours truly please folks?

Cliff, what could be a better combination than sea, mountains and sun?   All your photos show a Turkey I knew nothing about - it's beautiful and I just love the shots in this batch and the next that show timeless images of driftwood and 'Bonsai' trees together with sprinkles of tiny wild plants and staggering views.  Thanks for all your postings  :)

Next batch from Baba Dag summit ... and from A135 back down in the resort town of Olu Deniz.

Many hundreds of shots still to process ... we could still be visiting this glorious part of Western Turkey at Christmas (quite appropriate perhaps)?
