Spring at the Jordan Valley - with an almost unbelievable abundance of wildflowers - such as I have not seen before, this was just the top of the top. We had so much rain this year here in Israel, surely that contributed to the growth of millions of flowers. We went to visit at the valley today, and took much more photos than these, it was impossible to stop. All the colors were present, yellow, red, purple, white, blue, pink, orange - and even black, because the Gilboa Iris is almost black. Here we are at Maale Efraym which is in the middle of the Valley. That was truly a glorious and magic day!
I know these are a lot of photos, but don't stop, please view till the end!
היום בבקעת הירדן. כל הארץ פורחת לאחר גשמי הברכה של החורף, אבל הפריחה בבקעה עולה על כולנה. עושר של מינים וצבעים מרהיב עין. המינים הבולטים: עכנאי זיפני, שלח ספרדי, נורית אסיה ועוד מינים רבים
אחרים, היוצרים חגיגה של צבעים
All photos by my husband Uri Eshkar.

How I loved seeing those spring photos with many colorful flowers!
Beautiful!
Enjoy your new season.
Sensational fields of poppies, and many flowers Yael.
oh my goodness! So many beautiful flowers!Such powerful colors too. Those dark iris and bright red poppies! Such a joy to see, I can only imagine it was a thousand times more powerful in person!
Isn't it grand how those seeds wait year after year and when all is right they come to life! We are so far from flowers still. It is snowing today.
Living in the high desert, I have found that there's nothing as gorgeous as the desert in bloom. Your photos are incredible and your experience must have so much better than even the best photo. It has rained so much here too and I hope we will have a great year for wildflowers. It's still cold, so it will be a while.
Desert In Bloom...sounds like a beautiful poem, and that is exactly what we get with your wonderful blogpost Yael. Many thanks to Uri for snapping these images.
Hugs.
