Though hard to find, Flowers of Greece and the Aegean by Anthony Huxley and William Taylor (Hogarth Press) is worth a special search. H. Baumann's Greek Wild Flowers and Plant Lore in Ancient Greece is more of a specialist text, but filled with information. In Greece, booklets to keep an eye out for are George Sfikas' "Wildflowers of Greece" and its companion volume, "Medicinal Plants of Greece", both published by the Efstathiadis group. The bright yellow title bar with red lettering above pretty photos of flowers is as easy to spot as a fall crocus against the green grass meadows of Greece.
