FUN FACT: Greek mythology tells of a Thracian princess named Phyllis who met Demophon, son of Theseus, who landed in his kingdom for a stop while sailing to Troy. The two young men fell madly in love but Demophon was forced to continue his journey with the Achaeans to fight in the Trojan War. The young princess after ten years of war, not seeing him return with the victorious ships, let herself die in desperation. The goddess Athena moved by this poignant love story transform the girl into an almond tree. Demofonte was not actually dead and when he learned that the girl had been transformed into a tree by embracing the almond tree to "thank" she gave birth to white flowers. The almond tree originally from Central Asia owes its diffusion to the Greeks in the Mediterranean basin between the 5th and 4th centuries BC. It is also one of the few species to bloom in winter, covering plains and hills with white petals.
