On the way to Jerusalem - Derek Tzova - Wild cyclamen PIP

The wild Cyclamen (rakefet) is a protected species and one of the success stories of the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel – SPNI’s campaign to stop wildflower picking and save the country’s wildflowers from extinction.
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.”
