For such a small country, Georgia has a breathtaking floral diversity, there’s a wide variety of plant communities, with examples of almost all the main habitat types found in Europe and some of those in Asia;
Endemic species comprise about 9% of Georgia’s flora, a surprisingly high proportion for such a small country.
Georgia can be split into two main bio-geographic regions: firstly, the Colchic and Caucasian districts, forest landscapes with plenty of autochthonous animals and plants, and others related to middle and eastern European species.
Mixes zones, notably the Borjomi Gorge and the Trialeti Ridge, as well as the southern slopes of the High Caucasus in eastern Georgia are spread between these two main regions, you will have the possibility to explore both of them. Below the snow lie slopes covered in the yellow, purple, white, and pink of Primulas Macrocalyx, Cordifolia, Amoena, and Algida. The thirteen species of Primula also include velvety purple Meyeri, tiny Darialica, Azalea (Rhododendron luteum), and the fields of poppy flowers. Hillsides of purple Pulsatilla Violacea sway in the breeze, open woodlands are covered in pink and white Corydalis and alpine meadows are a pastiche of pink Primula auriculate, yellow Fritillaria Collina are sure to be a highlight along with Iris furcate, Puschkinias, delicate Muscari pallens, and white and pink Anemone fasciculate.
