Europe's southernmost point

[Than]

We went on a trek to Cape Tainaro which I think is the southernmost tip of continental Europe. Beautiful place and some nice flowers. Euphorbias are in their best right now. Enjoy!

Wir haben eine Wanderung zum Kap Tainaro gemacht, das, wie ich glaube, die südlichste Spitze des europäischen Festlands ist. Ein wunderschöner Ort mit vielen schönen Blumen. Die Euphorbien stehen gerade in ihrer schönsten Blüte. Viel Spaß!

I think so, yes. Yucca is very common in gardens here and in south Greece they get enormous. The area we visited has very mild winters and never sees freezing temperatures. A usual winter day there would be 7-17 C.

Another cool plant that gets enormous in southern Greece is elephant cactus. One could easily create a New Mexico, Arizona desert vibe here haha. I'll try to post photos.

Ich denke schon. Yuccas sind hier in Gärten weit verbreitet, und in Südgriechenland werden sie riesig. Die Gegend, die wir besucht haben, hat sehr milde Winter und nie Minusgrade. An einem typischen Wintertag liegen die Temperaturen dort zwischen 7 und 17 Grad.

By the way you are looking also tall beside this giant yucca 😄, about 6ft 3inch/191cm.
