Flowers from Olympos

In Aptil 2018 I took upon the self-inflicted duty of photographing every type of flower I saw while on holiday in the Olympos-Çıralı district of Turkey's Antalya province.

I had visited the Olympos-Çıralı coast on this blog before, and also returned to it as part of an extended trekking adventure in 2016. 

This time around, I only wish to share with you my collection of flower photos from this beautiful and fateful place. Wild, domesticated and ornamental plants are all represented here. Simply put, if I saw a plant with flowers, I took its picture. Below are the results of this three-day bout of photographic flower-collecting. 

I am not botanically educated, and I wish to offer my gratitude to the members of the IFL Botany group on Facebook, most notably to Mr. Michael Vincent, for the identification of these flowers. Enjoy!
