Jerusalem Poppies
Returning from the excellent Herod exhibit at the Israel Museum, we walked around the Monastery of the Cross's back wall.
Poppies.
Not the calaniot. No white ring around the base of the petals. Nurit, I think, though there is a third variety. Here and there flowers which might be rakefet -- but that would be primroses. Not that I'm sure what a primrose looks like, but I think they are actually cyclamen.
Anyway, gorgeous.
