Greek Flowers

In Athens, we saw bougainvillea, oleander and geraniums except flowers planted and on display at the National Garden. The first two pics were on Mykonos Island.
How's this for a geranium bush?
Daughter, Sherry, under bougainvillea....
That day, we were on our way by boat to island of Delos. It is the oldest site with the largest amount of archaeological artifacts in Greece. It is supposedly the birthplace of twins Apollo and Artemis. The following are wildflowers we saw there.
Small poppies....
Queen Anne's lace w/what looks like lavender phlox and unknown yellow wildflowers...
Some lovely light purple flowers with a few poppies.
