Spanish Broom and guests. Σπάρτα και επισκεπτες.

The last remaining of the beautiful yellow flowers on the bush of the Spanish Broom or Weaver's Broom.
(Spartium junceum). A bush so common in Greece and around the Mediterranean coast. They were in full bloom about a couple of weeks ago on the hills of Imittos. Now, the last remaining flowers were hosting some guests.
Τα τελευταία λουλουδια από τα Σπάρτα που στολίζουν τον Υμηττό. Μερικά φιλοξενούν επισκέπτες.

  7. I've never seen this bush of course and also I'm curious as to what the insects are. The shell looks like a ladybug but I know that's not right. Help this Alabama girl out Costas! :)

  10. Beautiful shots. Sadly all wild flowers here have said goodbye for the summer. Only a few poppies are still braving the rainless days.
