APRIL 2008 | APRIL 2007 continued

| Cyclamen creticum
at Kew - The plants that grow in abundance
here on Crete can also be seen in the more formal
settings of the alpine garden and striking new
Alpine House at Kew Gardens, London. |

 |
| Paeonia clusii at
Kew - Having been lucky enough
to photograph wild paeony in the forests below
the Katharo Plateau in eastern Crete several years
running, it was exciting to photograph the same
species in the exalted atmosphere of the Alpine
Gardens at Kew. |

 |
| Arum creticum
- photograph of this stunning arum courtesy of
Christine Woolfenden. I was, unfortunately , in
the wrong place at the wrong time to take an image
of this lovely yellow arum this year, but Chris
kindly supplied one of hers. |
|
 |
| Tulipa saxatalis
- photograph courtesy of Janice Ainsley. Again,
this year by the time I managed to get up into
the mountains above Aghios, the tulips had disappeared.
I am grateful to Janice for her image of Tulipa
saxatalis - a lovely endemic tulip. |
