Wax flowers in Israel
No greenhouse visit today.
But a look at the outdoor fields of wax flowers.
The wax flowers are cut. This is a job that requires muscle power because the stems are wood-like branches.
Low night temperatures influence bud formation. Flower starts opening in late autumn and have a good shelf life.
Spring planting - first harvest the following winter (about 6 - 8 months after planting)
Autumn planting - first harvest the next winter (about 15 months after planting)
