Comments: Crocus in Hurvat Dur, an archaeological site near Even Menahem, Israel.
Crocus. Crocus sativus. חבצלת ḥăḇatseleṯ - Strongs: H2261.
From Easton: Rose - Many varieties of the rose proper are indigenous to Syria. The famed rose of Damascus is white, but there are also red and yellow roses. In Song of Solomon 2:1 and Isaiah 35:1 the Hebrew word _habatstseleth_ (found only in these passages), rendered "rose" (R.V. marg., "autumn crocus"), is supposed by some to mean the oleander, by others the sweet-scented narcissus (a native of Palestine), the tulip, or the daisy; but nothing definite can be affirmed regarding it.
Verses:
- Song of Solomon 2:1
- Isaiah 35:1
