Today’s Flowers in the Golan
These globe thistle flowers were growing all over the hillsides when we visited Banias in the Golan Heights, Israel last June.
They give the hills a pretty purplish look.
The Golan is a beautiful place to visit, with many places to hike and mountains to view.
Today’s Flowers is hosted by Luiz Santilli Jr. Thank you, Luiz, for featuring flower followers who share photos in a fun fashion.

Gemma says
Lovely! And that first pic especially is fascinating! The colour intrigues me because here in Australia, I have only seen a darker purple thistle flower and ours is much smaller!

These photos of the Golan are lovely and they confirm why Israel would want to maintain their places there. And the thistle is a great capture. Thanks for sharing.
