Centranthus ruber, Red Valerian 
The first photo is of a plant seen by a friend of mine at Delphi recently.
At first, I identified it as Centranthus ruber but now I am not so sure.
I took the second photo in the wilds of Taygetus and the next two photos were taken at Zemeno, a village in Corinthia. where we went to collect the May, that is pick flowers to make a wreath, in 2018.
The last photo is of the resulting  May Wreath

Lathyrus tingitanus, Tangier pea
The seeds of this plant were obtained from THE MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN SOCIETY Seed exchange
I sowed the seeds in the autumn last year and they are producing this pretty little flower at the end of April

The   Gulf of Corinth end of the Corinth Canal
Crown daisies, Glebionis coronaria, in the foreground with a couple of shy Poppies, Papaver rhoeas.
Pine trees and Eucalyptus trees across the canal
Then the Gerania mountain with its Pine trees

Oh yes, and the reason for our going to the Poseidonia end of the canal on Sunday was to see the Belem, a sail training ship, pass by on its way to France carrying the Olympic Flame.
