but this year was bad - we had 2-3 days of severe rains and floods, then 2-3-4 weeks of real hot weather, with temperatures of 25-30 degrees, something we're not used to on December-January-February.
so if you sum the amounts of rain - it looks like we had a normal year, but because of the long hot and dry periods between the extreme rain episodes, for nature it was like a drought year.
I'm wearing short-sleeves t-shirts all this "winter"! I miss the rains, and the plants agree with me... Posted 2 years ago
there are about 50 different species (I don't remember exactly how many), all grow in the Middle East to central Asia. I think I uploaded representatives of the 8 ones that grow in Israel, and probably Ori uploaded some from Central Asia. Posted 2 years ago
