[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Bacopa monnieri (Scrophulariaceae) is a tropical perennial herb (hemicryptophyte) of moist soils. It is quite rare in Israel, found in a few Mediterranean spots and in some desert locations in oases. Like many plants that do not rely on rain, it blooms in our dry season, from April to October, when competition for pollinators is limited. It has succulent simple leaves and grows close to the ground. The flowers are about 8 mm in diameter. This particular specimen was photographed at Mapal I’yov (Job’s Waterfall [Job, as in the Old Testament]) at the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee, at an elevation of about 210 m BELOW sea level.

Shalom my friend,
A beautiful herb with fine, lilac coloured flowers captured expertly under a harsh sun Ishi, I wonder, is this the same Bacopa plant used extensively within aquaria with tropical fish?
