MEADOWS
Meadows
are wide flat areas either at mountain plateaus or at forest
clearings, with low plants, mainly herbs and grasses. The most
important meadows of Parnitha are situated at Mola, Saloniki
and Loimiko. These are also habitats for numerous wild red tulips
(Tulipa hageri), which colour the rough mountain landscape
during the spring.
Some
of the plants observed at the meadows of the mountain are: red
poppies (Papaver rhoeas), wild daisies (Anthemis
chia, Chrysanthemum coronarium), peacock anemones and crown
anemones (Anemone pavonina, Anemone coronaria), buttercups
(Ranunculus sprunerianus), dandelion flowers (Taraxacum
sp.), several grasses (Aegilops sp., Briza sp., Bromus
sp., Avena sp.) etc.
