Yellow Asphodel

Asphodeline lutea is a well known Mediterranean species. In the Negev Desert highlands there is a disjunct population that survives in rocky areas of high altitudes. It doesn't bloom here every year, when it does. it is in very much contrast to its dry environment. In Israel it is a protected species. This pic was taken in Maale Arod in the western part of the Ramon crater, 900m.

Asphodeline lutea is a common mediterranean species. In the Arabian deserts it can be found in refugia mountains.

I was happy to see these beautiful flowers in the last light, just before sunset.
