The flowers of Israel are an inseparable part of me, interwoven with scents and memories from every trail and season I have experienced over the years. Each spring brings a renewed sense of excitement and an irresistible urge to go out and witness the richness of the blossoms. It is hard to describe the joy of discovering that the rains were plentiful enough to bring this beauty to life once again. We gaze upon waves of colorful blooms, knowing they will soon fade with the arrival of summer, and that we must wait until autumn to meet these vibrant wonders again.
