We see much more than #orchids on our spring tour in Rhodes. Among the other flowers we enjoy are Crown Anemones (Anemone coronaria). They paint the landscape with a range of colourful blooms, from a palette of red, deep pink, blue, violet & white.

How about some wildflowers for this Wednesday's #WakeUpWithWildlife? 🌷🌸🪻
Here's a few from the Greek island of Rhodes, the location of our long-running unique & exclusive 'Orchid Odyssey' holiday. It's a lot more fun than the 10 year journey Odysseus had to make, honestly! 🙃

We all have bad hair days from time to time! Thankfully they’re not often captured on camera like this Dalmatian Pelican was on Lake Kerkini in North Greece.
A great species to photograph. Maybe you’d like to join us?
