n.b.There are a lot of photographs on this page so, depending on your internet connection the lower images may need time to load.

Thank you for visiting. I'm hoping to add more photos in the near future, courtesy of Carol. Follow the link at the bottom to Cretan Flora 2. We've had a query re the photo of Allium Roseum possibly being Valeriana Sp. Can anyone enlighten us? You can comment on our feedback page, use the "Contact Us" link on my Homepage (via HOME at the bottom of this page).
