" Tel Anafa Nature Reserve. Northwest of Kibbutz Shamir, Tel Anafa is an off-the-track delight. Although named for the egrets (anafot) that like to nest in its trees, the Tel Anafa Nature Reserve is also known as Daffodil Hill. That's because in the dead of winter the almost untouched reserve abounds with lovely daffodils. In spring the daffodils are replaced by distinctive acanthus flowers, called 'bear's breeches' in English. With their rosette-like bottom leaves and white and purple flowers, they are so decorative that they apparently inspired the architect who designed the Corinthian capitals that crowned the pillars in ancient Greece and Rome." http://jpost.com/Israel-Guide/… regards, Bill Richardson -------------------------------------------------- From: "Mark Mazer" <markemazer@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, March 07, 2014 3:49 AM To: "Pacific Bulb Society" <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> Subject: Re: [pbs] anyone in Israel? > *Tel Anafa is a h*ill near Shamir and is informally known as "daffodil > hill".
