Crete Walk on June 13, 2023

I went for a walk on a nearby mountainside in Crete. I walked into an area that was an abandoned church with lots of surrounding plants and mushrooms, some even growing on the crumbled walls. The weather was pretty hot when I began my walk, but by the end the wind had picked up and it had become chilly. There were lots of animals that I spotted along the way like dogs, cats, horses, sheep, and a variety of birds (peacocks, chickens, etc.). One interesting plant I found was oregano on one wall. In the nearby area, I found a variety of plants like ferns, hedgeparsley, bullwort, and fluffy thimbleweed. Eventually, once I had walked closer to the nearby village, I found grape plants and olive trees. There were a lot of weeds and bugs, as well as pinecones and dried pine needles, on the ground. I tried to take a picture of one peacock I saw but it ran away too quickly. However, because I trekked reasonably far into the forest area after the peacock, I saw a weird plant with a brown withered covering and green bud-like spheres. The app suggested that it is part of the Arum Tribe. I find this plant fascinating because I have never seen something like it before and would like to learn even more about it.
