Symbols of Israel – National Flower
In September 2007 the Cyclamen (more exactly Cyclamen
Persicum) was chosen as the national flower of the State of Israel, and as its
official representative in the botanical exhibition “We Are One World” held in
Beijing. The Cyclamen won over by a small margin over the Anemone coronaria
(6509 compared with 6053 votes) in a poll conducted among visitors of the
popular Israeli website Ynet.
However, in November 2013, the Society for the Protection of
Nature in Israel and Ynet arranged a larger poll, in which the Anemone
coronaria was designated as Israel's national flower.
