From there we have continued to the Samaria region to see the stunning Iris samaria [I. lortetii var. samariae], luckily we have found them in peak time.

Oron, your trip together looks wonderful and the photos are terrific  :)  it constantly amazes me how a flower as incredibly beautiful and complex as this iris can be so pristine in such a tough looking habitat!

Wonderful, what a fantastic trip!  I am so envious, and Jordan next?  I've been looking at the itinerary for the AGS/Greentours trip to Jordan in January and longing to go...

Indeed, I enjoyed very much from our trip.
Oron- thanks for the entertainment  ;D ;)
Fred- thanks for your pleasant company :D

What would you do without me?  ???  ::)
I guess you were starved to death  ;D :P ;)

First, some pictures from Tirat Zvi: David Shahak took us to see his hybrids that used for cutting flowers.

I have not yet decided which Iris is the most beautiful one.
But for sure Iris samariae is one of my favorites.

I am absolutely green. To see Tirat Tsvi as well as arils in their natural habitat AND to meet David Shahak - I would personally feel that all my birthdays had come at once.
To finally see a photo of David Shahak too after getting my first seed from him in 1989 :) :) :)
To see the great fields of arils in bloom :o :o
Thank you Oron, Fred and Miriam so much.

To be in Israel and Jordan when the Iris flower , a dream for many of us . Many thanks to the happy and fortunate trio- Miriam , Oron and Fred to share with us their happy times wandering through the Onco fields (I,m a little envious) and enjoying Miriam,s picnic food.

  Pat , have you got your backpack or suitcase packed for our departure to Israel ?
