Cyprus in Bloom
From February to April, pink cyclamen sprouts up from rocky foothills and thickets and forms a riveting adornment to the Baths of Aphrodite. From March to April, the pink wavy-leaved monkey orchid (Orchis italica) grows in dense patches around Paphos. If in summer Cyprus is the place to bask in the sun, then spring is the time to savor the natural beauty of the island in bloom.

Cyprus has 1,950 species of flowering plants, 140 of which grow nowhere
else but on the island, and in the Akamas alone, there are 700 plant species,
of which 40 are endemic.
