Cyclamen persicum – Wild Cyclamen
The cyclamen is one of the most well-known and beloved plants in Israel, and in our opinion, it lost the competition for first place as Israel's national flower to the common Anemone, only because it does not bloom in red.
The respect and love that we all share for this plant is evidenced by the hundreds of girls and women named after it, the village named Rakefet, several famous songs, dozens of streets and hundreds of kindergartens named after the Cyclamen scattered throughout the country.
From our wild cyclamen and several other cyclamen species, hybrid cyclamens were cultivated through repeated hybridization.
In contrast, wild cyclamens are sold almost only as bulbs, and it is important to note that these are grown from seed at the growers fields and are not collected from the wild.

Scilla maderensis
During the months of September-December, masses of tiny squills of the genus Scilla automnalis bloom throughout the country, appearing in the fall before and after the first rains; only the keen-eyed and those willing to bend down will notice their beautiful flowers…
Their big brother, Scilla hyacinthoides, which is also common throughout the country, will soon begin to sprout and develop large leaf rosettes during the winter.
This is an adaptable plant that grows well in sun and shade, with or without summer watering, and reproduces by division and seeds, forming large, flowering clumps over the years. Also suitable in containers, under trees and almost anywhere in the garden and it is highly recommended to plant it now before it wakes up.
