Asklipiio - Laerma Rd - Rhodes

I have never been to the Mediterranean in springtime.
This was an amazing Spring Festival of so many things I have never seen before.
Many of the plants were identified afterwards
or
not
Sitting quietly in various corners of fields and hillsides
trying to take it all in.

Please forgive any misidentifications or lack of precision
the photographer in me took over.

A few orchids from Rhodes

The tip of the iceberg for orchids in Rhodes but very pleased to have found these.

Not sure of some of the ids as the first time for seeing all of them and 'The Wild Flowers of the Mediterranean' doesn't quite give enough information.
