    Hi, I've just joined what looks like a fantastic site, thanks.

    I'm having trouble identifying a very large white trumpet shaped flower, growing wild in Santorini in September; and a tree with pinnate leaves and a large delicate yellow flower with long red stamens I suspect from the acacia family that grows wild in Crete and flowers in the spring.

    If anyone can help I'd be so grateful.
    Patricia.

    White one is Datura, possibly D. wrightii.

    Yellow one is Caesalpinia giliiesii.
