| 303_8641 [Hypericum olympicum] |
This is a perennial, deciduous shrub,
widely distributed in the Balcans and Turkey at heights up to 2000m.
In Greece,
it becomes 30 to 40 cm tall and blooms from June to August
usually in sunny and slightly shaded places.
Its showy flowers (5cm wide) may look impressive
but they are not fragrant.
In spite of that,
they are often planted in gardens for ornamental purposes.
The picture was taken on Mt. Dirfis in Evia.
