Thanks Tony

When I get the chance I will visit these mnts.  I hope that the Crocus seedlings will reach maturity and flower.  Do you know something about Crocus cvijicii occurence on mnt Ossa?  What I think I see there is Crocus chrysanthus.

Tony you and I must have looked at the same Viola sp on Mt Falakro and Mt Voros. Here are a few images from my last visit there.  Not sure which species, is it V.gracilis?

I have always been too late on Ossa -early/middle of May and only found a few Crocus veluchensis. I have found C. cvicii on Vermion very high at that time of year and once lower down at the ski resort,just a few, when it was a late spring.

Melvyn yes but I do not know the species,I thought gracilis but not sure,also yellow ones

George,
thank you for joining the forum and showing such marvelous pictures from your greek wildness.
Enjoyed especial the C. veluchensis meadows, it simply fascinates me :o  ;D
I envy you for the biodiversity compared to the agrarian deserts around were I live.
