The summer snowflake, Leucojum aestivum, a plant dependent on permanently wet sites, was believed to be extinct on Thasos, one of its few Greek sites. However it was rediscovered in 1998, in a marshy area at Golden beach, opposite the Marina Apartments. Here it flourished with yellow iris and adderstongue spearwort, until spring 2004, when a large building was built on both the marsh and the snowflake's last viable population.
