Flowers of Crete calendars

Have sold out of calendars again, so am re-ordering if anyone would still like to get theirs.

Chronia Polla

I would like to wish everyone a Happy Christmas and a Peaceful and Prosperous New Year. I am looking forward to the coming season with a variety of new trips and holidays - www.flowersofcrete.info. I'm especially looking forward to the Rare Orchids trips and the new Food Foraging weeks.

Species survey at Almyros

Rosemary and I have decided to undertake a survey of the wetlands at Almyros just east of Aghios Nikolaos in order to produce a species list of this important habitat. We went there a couple of weeks ago and recorded three species in flower and identified a number of other species from their leaves. We are going again today. It is my aim to photograph each plant as it comes into flower and we will be putting the results onto the Flowers of Crete website

Course at Knossos

I have today received the following information from the British school of Archaeology at Knossos

'We have a residential course here (22-28 April 2012) of an ecological Historical nature .. it is led by Oliver Rackham. It's theme is The Making of the Cretan Countryside.
There is room for 10 places.'

If anyone would like more information please contact me directly - I have prices and itinerary.
