Prickly oak and scilla nana - 11th April 2008

Prickly oak and flowers

Scilla nana flowers - a Cretan mountain endemic - are hiding in the low branches of a prickly oak. These oaks are often not allowed to grow because of the intense grazing that takes place. They are more bushes (or bonsais!) than trees. In addition this one is also tangled in Berberis. All in all, I guess that it protects the flower from being eaten by the sheep (this image originated ony a few metres away from yesterday's photo).
