It's March 1st which means that the height of the poppy season in Israel is now coming to a close. The poppy, (Kalanit כלנית in Hebrew, and in "science speak", anemone coronaria) has become emblematic of the blooming land in the late January, early February,which in Israel marks the beginning of spring. The flower blooms in nearly every color including white, purple and yellow, but the most iconic color is bright ruby red.
