Rakefet

רַקֶּפֶת

• Gender: Female
• Origin: Modern Hebrew
• Meaning: cyclamen plant

• Rakefet is the Hebrew name for the cyclamen, a wildflower that is practically a national treasure in Israel. It carries the rugged beauty of the Israeli hillside where cyclamens push through rocky soil every winter, giving it a depth that English-garden flower names rarely achieve.

  In a nursery full of Lilys and Violets, Rakefet is the wildflower nobody sees coming. Its three rhythmic syllables feel bold and grounded, and there is real grit in a name tied to a flower that blooms in the hardest conditions. A botanical name with geographic specificity and a story worth telling.
