ISLAND LIFE

摘要

Some call Corfu the Garden Isle. Certainly its lush-but-rugged natural beauty makes it garden enough, a magical landscape of centuries-old gnarled olives and dark green sentinel cypress trees cloaking hillsides and mountains. In spring, the huge silver green canopies of Corfiot olive groves are under lit by drifts of wildflowers, such as the luminous purple honesty (Lunaria annua) in stunning combination with the acid green Bupleurum rotundifolium, while the daisy flowers of chamomile, irises, and perfectly formed orchids -to mention just a handful - dance along the edges.
