Wild Anemone, January 2013

Winter here in Israel means wildflowers, and one of the most prolific and best loved are the anemones, most often seen in a rich, vibrant shade of red.

  8. This is so lovely and such a welcome sight! We are still snowbound in Suffolk and longing for spring and flowers again. Feels a long way off.

  9. Very pretty. It looks a lot like our California poppy, but in red.
