Oron, all I can say is WOW!  :o :o
Fantastic color variation, all are beatiful.  Are the yellow flowers in the background Leontice?

Thanks Mark, it is Leontice.

Three Muscari were in bloom M. neglectum, M. comosum and the gigantic Leopoldia[muscari] longipes.

There is a reason for this unusual traffic sign...
There are still plenty of Camels wondering around.

Lovely pictures Oron - fauna as well as flora!  We saw a very young camel when we were in Egypt and I really wanted to bring him home with me!

Just found this new thread of you Oron.
It gives me a total different insight about a "desert" where one never would suspect so many beautiful flowers.
The Iris are great ( in the other thread) and the Capra so strange and the Adonis (is it an annual? ) and the Fritillaria and all the other plants .. Fantastic!
One question: I always am told that the camels you show are dromedaries?
