Southwestern Turkey 2020 (Greentours)

Highlights

• Crocuses everywhere! See the purple-centred ivory flowers of rare C. mathewii and the rarer C. wattorium.
• Bright purple-pink Colchicum baytopiorum at impregnable Termessos (on the south-west side of the mountain Solymos).
• Magnificent Tahtali Mountain rises behind our second hotel and nearby under ancient gnarled plane trees we’ll encounter massed displays of Galanthus peshmeni.
• Juniper dotted slopes host rare Colchicum sanguicolle and magnificent violet-blue Crocus speciosus.
• See the chequered blooms of Colchicum variegatum on slopes below the haunt of golden Sternbergia clusiana and the weird Biarum pyrami.
