Aspra Sitia, Agios Mamas, April 16, 2012

Delphi is so close to my hometown that I used to say it is my hometown. I visited it countless times with almost all of my friends. But it was with Hana and John that I spoted for the first time a Campanula plant on the retaining wall North of the Apollo temple. Then I realized it was the particular taxa labeled 'delphica' of course...
The plant in Agios Mamas I discovered during a botanical tour with Katerina. She was ratehr surprised to see my excitement when I spoted it :-))
