Alpine plants (from Greece)

[vangelis]

Hallo from Greece! My name is Skoufakis Vangelis, I have studied Agriculture, I'm an amateur gardener, unfortunately I can't grow alpine plants in Athens , but I often go to the mountains and admire some of the flora of Greece.
Here are some plants from Olympus mt.
Is this Viola striis-notata?






And this one? Altitude 2600-2700m


Thank you in advance!

Hello,

you are right with the Viola.

The last photo is perhaps a ranunculus.

I would like to see more pictures from mt. Olympus!

Hello Vangelis, welcome to the forum!
I think we would all like to see more Greek flowers.

Thank you!
Is Viola striis-notata endemic only in Olympus mt.?

In which section could I post plants from the wild?

[Maggi Young]

I believe that Viola striis-notata is endemic to Mt Olympus. I cannot say if your photo is of that viola.... others here will be able to know more than I.

You are welcome to post Greek wildflowers in this section:

 or, as Gerd suggests :  http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?board=31.0

Hi Vangelis,
Lovely pics - especially the violet. The second photo might be a Ranunculus species.

The violet is endemic at Mt. Olympus.

If you'll post more pics from your region (very desirable)  I believe ' Travel/Places to visit ' is the section for that.

Gerd, you are correct, that section is perhaps the correct one : http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?board=31.0       


 So, Vangelis' viola IS  V. striis-notata ?

Yes, it is - there is no other pansy which is so minute at Mt. Olympus!

A friend told me about the Viola, he is based at Arne Strid's book, Wild Flowers of Mount Olympus

Hi you all!

An other plant from Parnassus mt.
Is it Digitalis laevigata?
