Plants of Cyprus in Mid-December

Wild plants

There were far fewer wild plants in bloom in mid-December, although young plants were visible as they struggled through the dead grass of summer's drought. The yellow flowered plant with clover-like leaves was in evidence though

Cultivated Plants

The garden plants were still going strong although the roses and cannas were looking rather tired. The hibiscus plants looked fresh, however.
