Dimorphoteca ecklonis (Cape marguerite)
Philopappos hill, Athens, Mars 3, 2012
Dimorphoteca ecklonis is a native plant of South Africa (hence its common name: Cape marguerite), which has been introduced to Greece as an ornamental one. It seems however very well acclimatized and it grows wild in the vicinity of gardens, from which it escaped.

Alyssum saxatile (syn. Aurinia saxatilis)
Areopagus hill, Athens, January 22, 2012
Areopagus hill, Athens, Mars 3, 2012
The Alyssum saxatile is supposed to start blooming in April and continue until late June, but many specimens on the southern slope of the Areopagus hill were in full bloom already by January! Is this in any way related to the global warming?
