I admit that the Almond tree is just an excuse here ;-)
in the center - the Dome of the Rock - the muslim mosque on Temple mount.

Sorry, have to re-identify because we already had a species record for the synonym Prunus dulcis. Posted one year ago

The Almond

The almond is a species of tree native to Iran and surrounding countries but widely cultivated elsewhere. The almond is also the name of the edible and widely cultivated seed of this tree. Within the genus ''Prunus'', it is classified with the peach in the subgenus ''Amygdalus'', distinguished from the other subgenera by corrugations on the shell surrounding the seed.
