Lesvos

Mr Ilias Mefyris organises a photographic exposition of drained plants at the Natural History Museum of Lesvos Petrified Forest. The exposition will be entertained from the 4th until 14th of April in the Centre of Information in Mitilini, and then will be transported in the installations of the Museum in Sigri from April 16 till June 5. The report includes impressive photographs with some of the most characteristic types of Lesvos flora and compositions with drained plants in tables.
Lesvos is considered one of the richest in flora and biodiversity islands and it has been calculated that exist over 1400 set (species and subspecies) plants. In this make contributed a lot of factors, as the climate, the morphology of soil, the variety of rocks, the geographic place, and the presence of many permanent and precarious wetlands, the long-lasting human effect and others. Characteristic is the differentiation in the appearance of plants from region in region of Lesvos, particularly from Eastern to the western, from the mountainous to the coastal etc, but also from season to season.
