These three photos of mine, picturing wildflowers growing on Crete, are featured in a book by Theano Metaxa, titled "Το λουλούδι στην κρητική μαντινάδα", which translates to: "Flowers in Cretan Mantinades".

Mantinada is Cretan folk poetry, specifically rhyming couplets, typically improvised during dance music. The book is a compilation of mantinades featuring flowers, meticulously collected over the years by Mrs Metaxa. It also features full-page photos of beautiful flowers by various Cretan photographers, including yours truly :)
