Today our group arrived in the beautiful, car-free village of Wengen in the Bernese Oberland, day #1 of our new #Switzerland tour!

Kurt Vickery just sent 2 photos of the stunning Iris rosenbachiana, a Central Asia endemism, photographed during our current tour to #tajikistan.

Lots & lots of orchids (and much, much more!) in a super green & lush #sicily this week, photos again by Richard Somers Cock.

The 2nd April we crossed the Messina strait, leaving #Calabria to start the ongoing #sicily tour.

Kurt has just sent in some lovely pictures of Spring on the Greek Islands of #kythnos and #euboea where our group just finished a one week tour. Particularly striking is the rare yellow form of the already rare Fritillaria tuntasia and some very unusual hybrid Ophrys….

Today is the end of a very successful (but very, very wet) tour to Cilento & Calabria: first sailing to cliffs teeming with the unusual Primula palinuri and then up & down the mountains of Calabria led by the super expert Luigi Torino to the best orchids you can imagine 🙂

Giant orchids (Himantoglossum robertianum) in flower today in the #gargano. Our “classic” tour to this orchids hotspot is now only a few weeks away & will start the 19th April: https://www.greentours.co.uk/tour/the-gargano/

#orchids, butterflies & dragonflies of the Baltic: to the enchanted #estonia with Amanda Borrows & Stefano Doglio. From the 7th to the 17th July: https://www.greentours.co.uk/tour/estonia-2/ Photos taken by Stefano during the 2024 tour.
