Cyclamen persicum - Persian Cyclamen - Rakefet Metsuia (Hebrew).

Some say it is the most erotic flower, look to the lower part: a red ring, a light tongue and red lips!
Cyclamen, a genus of plants of the Primrose family, received its name kyklaminos meaning "circle" from its bulblike, underground stem. In most of the 20 known species, the flower scape coils downward after pollination. The ripe seed are then shed near the soil. The flowers are produced in whorls of 3-10, each flower on a slender stem 3-12 cm tall, with five united petals; the petals are usually reflexed back 90° to 180° erect above the flower, and vary from white through pink to red-purple, most commonly pale pink.
Cyclamen persicum is the parent species of the cultivated Cyclamen; they are tuberous plants native to the eastern Mediterranean -southern Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Israel.

In Hebrew it is named Rakefet, רקפת after the Syrian name Rakafta.

Hi Tsilla,
Nice picture, but I didn't like the outline around the leaves. I suggest that you soften the picture slightly.
שבוע טוב, יואל
