I've said it a few times already but you and Ori have opened up a world I knew nothing about. I would have never imagined such rich flora in this geography. Eyes opened! Posted 4 years ago

  We're happy to do that :-)
  Actually, Israel is a meeting place of 3 different phytogeographic regions: Mediterranean, Saharo-Arabian and Irano-Turanian, with an "invasion" of a 4th region - Sudanian plants that can be found in the dead sea area and the Jordan Valley.
  so even though Israel is only about 20,000 Sq. Km, there are about 2600 native plants here (plus many invasive ones...).
  This Hypericum is unique to the Hermon-Lebanon mountains. Posted 4 years ago

    And that too I did not know, about these bio regions meeting each other. Nice hotspot! Posted 4 years ago

    I totally echo Ferdy's sentiment! I love seeing the photos from you and Ori. I have learned so much from them and am in awe of the flora in your area. Posted 4 years ago
