Description

Cyclamen persicum is a perennial plant that is native to the Mediterranean region, blooms between January and March, and goes dormant in summer. The flowers grow upwards instead of outwards. The leaves are heart-shaped. This plant is native to Europe, the Middle East, and Somalia. It is the national flower of Israel, and prefers shady, woody and rocky habitat. Colors may vary as white, red, pink and purple.

These pink Cyclamen persicum flowers growing at Mount Herzl National Cemetery in Jerusalem, Israel, were photographed on 2-14-2019. I used a Nikon D850 camera body and a Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR zoom lens to capture this image. Settings: 1/125 sec, f/4.5, ISO 100.
