Crete is full of flowers at this time in the spring but you rarely come across the sort of wet, dripping rock habitat which ferns prefer so this plant was a surprise. It was growing out of the cracks in a rock where water flowed over the north facing vertical rock face - ideal even in this very warm climate.
