A festival celebrating the meadows of native white daffodils or Poet’s Narcissus that are a hallmark of the impressive Prespes countryside are being organised by the municipality and local organisations on the May Day holiday, at Oxya in Prespes, ANA reports.
The Narcissus Festival” coincides with the flowering of the sub-species of Poet΄’s Narcissus that grows in the area (Narcissus poeticus radiiflorus), forming carpets of white flowers that spread over wide open areas. The festival programme includes food, music as well as outdoor activities for children.
Organisers underlined that visitors at the festival will not be allowed to walk on or cut the flowers, which though beautiful and very fragrant are also quite toxic.
