Aethionema saxatile ssp creticum Burnt Candytuft
This little rock plant grows in mountain areas of Crete and has flowers which look a little like pink Lobularia maritima (Sweet Alison). It was quite common in the lower reaches of the mountains surrounding the Omalos plateau which is at about 1,000m above sea level.
