Mountain Marvels

We spent the final couple of days of our visit to Cyprus in the Troodos Mountains where snow was still lying on the highest areas. We scrunched through it to find Crocus cyprius pushing up through the pine needles. A bit lower down Scilla lochiae created rich pools of blue amongst the leaf litter and Cyclamen hederifolium promised carpets of autumn flowers later in the year.
