When we think of Greece, we think of islands and mountains, mythology and olive trees. But Greece is home to a wide variety of wonderful flowers; when spring comes and they bloom, they carpet entire mountains.
Greece has a wide variety of landscapes, from arid highlands to wetlands and ancient forests. The rocky, arid soil we associate with harsher environments is perfect for flowers like crocodiles and daffodils, their orange, red, white and yellow blooms making the countryside come alive for a few brief weeks before the heat sets in. Hyacinth, with its violet and blue flowers, also flourishes in such a terrain.
