![Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Note Writer [C: 105 W: 0 N: 519]](http://i1.treknature.com/misc/g-n-g.gif) (1967) | | Antirrhinum siculum (Sicilian Snapdragon) grows wild in wall cracks in ancient cities of Israel, such as Jerusalem, Jaffa, Ramla, and Safed. It is a xenophyte imported from Europe by pilgrims, or the Crusaders in the 12-13th centuries. It does not survive in here in natural habitats. While the blooming season is March to June. I was lucky to find it last week, still in bloom, in wall cracks in the Armenian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. The flower is leass than 2 cm long. |
