Our curatorial intern, Rachel writes: “These are from a trip to the Dead Sea with Ori (Scientific Director) late last year. Our first stop was just outside Jerusalem to do some seed collection. As we moved towards the Dead Sea, we stopped and looked for interesting plants in several different wadis. The progression from small wadis to larger ones allowed for even large trees to grow like Ziziphus spina-christi.”
