Description
The cyclamen, or rakefet in Hebrew (Latin name: Cyclamen persicum), grows wild in Israel. Bashful is a typical description of this genus of the Primrose family, probably because the flower appears to be hanging its head and because of its preference for shaded and rocky areas. As the popular 1950s Israeli song goes, From under a rock, a very sweet cyclamen blooms suddenly / And the shining sun kisses and decorates her with a pink crown / Cyclamen, cyclamen the bird twitters, Peek at me for a moment/ [But] the glorious cyclamen hides within the rock / staying hidden from every living being.
This Unaltered Photograph was taken at Sataf, near Jerusalem, Mar. 3, 2015.
