From the Jordan Times weekender. Holly Parasite or Christmas Mistletoe. A destination to find mistletoe for sure would be the valley below the town of Wadi al Sear, in the surrounding of the spring, look for the shady and humid hillsides. From afar mistletoe appears as dense globes of warm dark-green and in this time of the year with red berries. The priest had prepared himself since the early morning, and with an air of holiness he walked up the fields where the community gathered, the village of peasan...

From the Jordan Times weekender. During all of June, the Jordan valley is full of blooming Flame Trees. The southern parts of the Rift Valley, including Aqaba, start the flowering season couple of weeks earlier. According to the timing of heat, the blooming sweeps northward until it reaches the upper Jordan valley towards the end of June. If you are not into photography, try capturing this amazing tree in watercolor; make sure you have enough red in your color kit. As the pickup drivers sip on sweet tee,...

http://www.jordanflora.com/Tulip.htm

From the Jordan Times weekender, February 28- 2003. Tracing the origin of Tulip. Look in natural forests and shrub-land on the way to Jerash, a good bet would be the old Jerash road. One definite location is the Aarda road, about 10 km after the gas station at the exit to Allan. All the hillsides of Zarqa River are good locations for finding tulips. Tulip is an obsession. There is something special about it, the way its fleshy flowers and leaves feel is more like living skin than plant. In the 17th centu...

http://www.jordanflora.com/Caper.htm

From the Jordan Times weekender. Caper picking or Caper season. The most concentrations of caper bushes are by the sides of the back-road from Wadi al Sir to Fuhais. You can find caper plants almost anywhere, and very possibly growing out of cracks in the walkway in front of you house. The trick is to recognize the plant in the first place and then to learn about its favorite habitat on rock cliffs and stonewalls of traditional architecture or archeological sites. Happy caper-picking and good luck - - -.
