Aubrieta deltoidea Aubretia
On our first visit to Crete we went to the Omalos plateau primarily to see the Anemone coronaria which is one of the spectacular wildflower sights of Crete in early spring. Then we drove as far as we could to the point where later in the year you would be able to descend into the Samaria Gorge but which is closed at this time of the year. Just a little way up the mountain we started to see these plants in amongst the rocks and I remember commenting that "these look just like Aubretia" - not surprising because that's exactly what they were.
