Wildflower Wonders: The 50 Best Wildflower Sites in the World
Bob Gibbons a very accomplished photographer, naturalist and trip leader, recently took on a most ambitious project. The assignment was to create a book about the most flowery places in the world. Included are descriptions of locations, highlight flowers, maps, landscape photos and flower portraits. It is a book for photographers and wildflower lovers alike.
The two trips I wrote about in Greece in the Peloponnese and Lesvos were led by Bob. I first met him on earlier trips to the French Alps and Picos de Europa in Spain. I was fortunate to help introduce Bob to California and show him some of the local flora.
The book will be released in October. It can be pre-ordered at the publisher’s site below or Amazon. For more information go the publisher’s site for more information and sample pages: Wildflower Wonders: The 50 Best Wildflower Sites in the World
Below are several photos from the book:

That top shot looks suspiciously like Carrizo! I’d guess Ranier for the middle one, but draw a blank on the bottom locale.

John,
You were right on the first two. Turban buttercups on Akrotiri peninsula, south Cyprus is the third one.
