Hordeum sp. Hordeum vulgare, Barley
A stamp issued by Israel in 1958 to celebrate the JEWISH NEW YEAR.
There are four stamps in the series all depicting agricultural products
To continue with the stamps featuring grain and photos from Lasithi plateau, Crete, Greece in 1966 the last photo I have shows sheaves of grain waiting to be processed. Lasithi is famous for its white sailed windmills. People are usually disappointed as they expect to see thousands more windmills but you can see quite a few in this photo.
Barley is mentioned in THE MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN
