Despite Kos looking distinctly dry, especially compared to let’s say Thassos, this Greek island still impressed with a great variety of flowers. There were of course the many oleander and bougainvillea as everywhere else in Greece. But Kos also had a lot of cacti flowers and other, especially fitting with the dry climate, small flowers. So even though there was a certain sparsity of green, there was enough color if you looked. Hopefully you enjoy these pictures as much as I do. I find that I almost forget during the long winter months, how hot it can be in summer. But the flowers of Kos remind me that the next season is just around the corner. Yours, Pollybert
