A brief segue from the usual gardening entries (and also an explanation for the lack of posts), this post offers a glimpse of the beautiful flowers and vegetation of Greece. We spent the last two weeks of May traveling between Santorini, Crete and Athens. We were amazed by the beauty and variety of plants -- from tropical palm trees to expansive bougainvillea to thriving household geraniums to succulent hybrids -- Greece had it all. Rather than try to name each species, I've posted photos of my favorites at each location. We'll be back to regular posts this week, but enjoy the beautiful flora and fauna of Greece in the meantime!
Santorini - once devastated by a volcano, the island's vegetation certainly thrived from the resulting terra.
Crete - The land of King Minos. Characterized by rolling dry hills with vegetation exploding with color.
Athens - birth place of ancient civilization and a true mix of the Grecian vegetation has to offer.
