Hello! Time to introduce myself and for you to practice a bit your English :D I moved to Belgium some time ago but originally I am from the Pindos area of Greece. Here are some photos from this year.
The first picture is Allium trifoliatum, normally it flowers white but there are many forms. A compact allium that flowers with the leaf in green state.
-
Lomelosia epirota, a very compact evergreen shrubby lomelosia endemic to Epirus
-
Aethionema saxatile, needs no introduction!!
-
Achillea umbellata with Cerastrium candidissimum growing through. Both Greek endemic species!
-
Ramonda serbica, what to say first for this Balkan endemic! Known as a shade plant but in habitat i have observed that they grow equally good in sun. By mid-july the plants go totally dormant.
-
Oh how beautiful!! I have been there at Micropapingo. It is heavenly there!
-
Clinopodium alpinum, grows everywhere!
-
In the sun they keep a better form!
-
Malcomia orsiniana subsp. serbica. I love this one and I believe it deserves wider appreciation!!
-
Aubrieta scardica. it is very hard to identify Aubrieta's, surely for me. A clear characteristic of this species is that the seed pods are compressed, almost flat, and very long compared to the width.
-
Saxifraga marginata, a few days too early for the flowers. But with this plant they are not necessary, it is always beautiful!
-
Viola sp., possibly riviniana.
-
Helleborus odorus subsp. cyclophyllus
-
Colchicum boissieri, at least if I assume from the very small size and the location. But could be also everything else.
-
Habitat with Valeriana officinalis and Lamium garganicum. In the far back left Lunaria annua subsp. pachyrhiza.
-
Staehelina uniflosculosa. Should be more common in gardens!
-
Compact form of Euphorbia segueriana
-
Moltkia petraea, in Greece only present in Pindos. Unfortunately 2 weeks too early for the photo, gets covered in flowers

Welcome to our forum Vangelis!!! I am very happy to meet you here and thank you for sharing the beautiful flora of the Pindos with us. This region is definitely still on my wish list. So I'm following it with great interest.

Well known in our rockgardens and nice to see it in habitat .

I am happy you liked it Mark, Mikro Papingo was inscribed this year in UNESCO, so it's there to stay untouched for the time to come!

Hello Kris and nice to meet you too! you are always welcome to show you around.
-
Sedum dasyphyllum subsp. dasyphyllum, unfortunately too late for the flowers, they are striking!
-
Hippocrepis emerus subsp. emeroides. Here at one of the best forms with the red in the back of the banner and more than 3 flowers per inflorescence. I don't see it in gardens, should be used more!

Not a broom, Kris, I guess. It's a Leguminosae (vlinderbloemachtige). Hippocrepis is a synonym for Coronilla. He is rather related to this Coronilla orientalis, which I have in the garden.

Welcome to this forum, Vangelis. A very nice topic which you have started with a lot of interesting plants in their natural habitat. Many thanks for showing them. ((12
-
Aethionema saxatile, needs no introduction!!
I have this one as Aethionema saxatila subsp. cretica. Could it be the same plant or is it something else? This one grows very compact, compared with your plant, Vangelis.

Ik ben wat snel en onduidelijk geweest Frankie . Ik wou eigenlijk zeggen een vlinderbloemige …

Hello Frankie! There are 4 subspecies of A.saxatile in Greece, yours indeed looks like the creticum! Very beautiful plant, seems happy with you!

Hello Vangelis ! Nice to see you here on our Forum, flooding it with all these beauties from your home country! A warm welcome ! I never had the pleasure to visit the Pindos area, but I should probably do it whenever I get the chance.
I visited Attica and the Peloponnesos a few times... should now aim for the Pindos I gues ! ((3 Have you any pictures from bulbous plants in the area ? Crocus, Colchicum, Narcissus, Cyclamen, etc... you may have noticed, scrolling the Forum that there are quite some Bulb fanatics around too .. -2(

A warm welcome to the forum from me too, Vangelis.
I'm also looking forward to marvelling at the wonderful pictures of your Greek homeland. As you are very knowledgeable, I have a small question for you. In the attachment you can see some photos from my garden of an Achillea that a friend collected on Mount Ossa. Unfortunately, I don't have an exact identification yet. My guess is Achillea agaratifolia. But I have never seen such an "extremely" silvery white specimen. The pinnation is also somewhat different from what I have known of Achillea agaratifolia so far. Can you make a possible prediction? If your precious time permits?
Cheers
Thomas
