Spring Wildflowers in the Valley of the Cross










the small native iris






Not a poppy, they’re called kalaniyot in Hebrew.
Still, everyone confuses them so why not us?



Just to get a feel for the grounds surrounding these beautiful flowers, take some time to take a video walk through a big part of the Valley of the Cross by clicking HERE (Virtual Jerusalem web channel) and HERE (Shai the Walker). You will hear more and more about this place as time goes by, so you may as well get acquainted. No rush.




Cyclamen (rakefot) love to grow in the cracks in the rocks


























 

Anglophones shouldn’t fear 
they will be made to hear 
all that much talking in Hebrew 
without translation if they go to view

    Cyclamen are beloved, here. I frequently buy them for myself around Valentine's day.
