Morocco Spring
Does anyone know these plants.
-
Rachel Olson took the photos,I was there too

Sorry, can't help you with the plants, the first is a little tulip-like, the others . . . I have no idea. I didn't notice such plants when I visited Morocco some years ago. However we walked in the Atlas mountains, starting from Marrakech. How did you like Morocco?

Hi,
I think the first one is Androcymbium wyssianum.
The second one is Asphodelus tenuifolius which also grows in Israel in the desert zones.

What did I think of Morocco
My heart bursts with feelings when I recall the women and children, the colour of their culture. Like Africa, India, Pakistan, anywhere. My emotions swing up,up,up. Then there were the times when frustration boils over in me. I have swung from humility and respecting difference to outright violence by kicking a man in the shins and elbowing another in the stomach.
Not in the same instance or even the same country.
Always it is a journey to myself

Poor men, I wonder what they did to you!
I found Morocco a very interesting country, especially when we were outside the bigger cities. Spent some nights in Berber villages and they always treated us well. By the way, seems you like to travel!

People from NZ have the good fortune to be able to travel and the curiosity.
Same as you.

Longer journeys for you folks, though, Bev.... takes more time and effort, I reckon.

We lived in the UK for 6 years and it certainly was easier and less expensive to get about.
South East London.
I really enjoyed the cultural mix there. Every day at work was a travel experience.

this asphodelus is interesting, is it small as it looks? it looks like a very narrow leaf aloe (cousin)

I remember it being about 10cms high.
