- The area we have called Nabataea, contains hundreds of different
kinds of wild flowers. When sub-species are considered, the count
goes to over 1000. Many of these flowers are only present during
April and May, at the end of the rainy season, just before the
long hot summer sun scortches everything in it's path. This page
does not attempt to present any sort of systematic or complete
coverage of these flowers. If you are interested in a complete
lisiting of these plants, contact the Jordan Society for Biological
Sciences (JSBS), or the the Plant Biodiversity Database.
