Hebrew is called a flower - Helmonite from Helmon - a bright yellow color. And in European languages he was called Sternberg in honor of the Austrian scientist botanist. No, he did not find and describe this plant, just his contribution to botany is so great that he was honored to be named after the plant, even without leaving his luxurious Viennese office. By the way, despite the name Shernberg, he was a Czech. Translated with Google Translate
This is a weekend trip for the whole family. Negev - the desert in southern Israel is especially beautiful after the first rains. In Be'er Sheva, the story is about the old city of Turkish and English Be'er Sheva, the last steam train, a Jewish soldier and a damned mosque. After Beer Sheva, the path passes through the hills of the Goral in a jeep, however, in the area of Lahavim, you can reach the place of flowering of Sternbergia on asphalt roads.
