Israeli researchers name new flower after visiting Indian premier

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits the Dan Flower Farm, a major exporter and breeder of flowers that exports to 60 countries.

The farm boasts “approximately 80,000 square meters of state-of-the-art greenhouses specializing in asexual reproduction of plants,” and is known as a developer and researcher of new plant species.

Modi is accompanied by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Agriculture Minister Uri Ariel.

During his visit, the researchers announce they have named a new species of chrysanthemum after the Indian prime minister.
