Crocus cartrightianus is endemic to southern Greece.
It grows from sea level to 1000m in stony locations from October to December.
Its long red styles give it a unique, impressive look.
It is pretty similar to Crocus sativus, the cultivated species;
a fact that justifies why it is considered the ancestor of sativus.
The picture was taken on Mt. Paneio.

The flower is predominantly purple-lilac (see above)
but it often comes in white, as well.
The picture is from Sounio.
