Campanula drabifolia
Antikyra, Koutros, April 17, 2012
The map shows diffusion of Campanula drabifolia.
The red arrow shows the location of Antikyra, Koutros.
This species is reported from the Acheloos Delta and its vicinity, Attica, SE Pelloponese and Elaphonisos, but it seems that it has a wider spread. The plants of the pictures were photographed on the location shown by the red arrow on the map.
Campanula andrewsii (?)
Antikyra, Vroulia Castle, April 17, 2012
This is a species of Campanula but I am uncertain if it belongs to the taxa "andrewsii", which is reportedly known only from Pelloponese. This plant may be easily confused with Campanula topaliana ssp. delphica, but it has no velvety grey leaves, nor red stems as is the case with all topaliana ssps.
Any advice will be wellcome!

Orchis italica
Orchis italica, Parnitha Mt., April 23, 2012
This beutiful Orchis is called in Greek "Satyriskos", meaning small Satyre. Undoubtedly ancient Greeks did n't need much imagination to see such a figure on each flower of the plant.
I only would correct that it is a "winged satyriskos"! :-)
Iris attica
Iris attica, Parnitha Mt., April 23, 2012
These beuatiful irises are dedicated to my friend Yannis, who spotted them while driving on Parnitha and he was so kind to stop for me to make pictures. Sometimes I have the impression that my wildflower mania becomes viral!
