| Daphne serica / Seidenhaariger Seidelbast - This is a beautiful shrub is usually found in the mountains. This one was photographed on the meadow below Karfi. The flowers are fragrant and have a silky texture, hence the name ‘serica’ –silk. New blooms are pink fading to a creamy apricot as they age. |

| Myosotis refracta / Forget-me-not / Vergissmirnicht - This small forget-me-not was photographed on the Lassithi plateau late in the afternoon and I doubted that the photograph would be OK. It is however a good representation of this delicate and tiny flower which is easily overlooked. |
