![]() There is a marked change in 1960, notes Ben Yehuda, with a name change. “On the State’s fifth anniversary, landscapes give way to five poppies… and then we return to battle ”. Yom Hazikaron’s official definition is for ‘the fighters of sovereignty’ and this stamp series commemorates those days”. Mourning and joy, grief and hope are intertwined again and again. “1950 presents the transition from Diaspora to sovereignty, and the Independence Day stamps from then onwards change in nature: battlefields and flowers accompany the celebration. For years, I wondered what was the connection between this plant and the memorial day for those who fell in Israel’s battles”. “There is no child in this country,” writes Ben Yehuda, “who does not recognize this sticker. Having been gifted with an album of Israeli stamps starting with the founding of the State, his two-part essay (in Hebrew) comments on the change in graphic and typographical style in Yom Hazikaron stamps, as well as shifts in ideological emphasis over time. Graphic designer Oded Ben Yehuda became fascinated with the linkage created between flowers and Israel’s fallen. Most likely, this tradition has its roots in Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day), the memorial day observed since the end of the First World War bu Commonwealth of Nations member states (the former British Commonwealth) where the red poppy has become a familiar emblem. In our time, it has become a symbol for the Israeli Yom Hazikaron, the memorial day for the Israeli fallen soldiers and the victims of terrorism, where its image is worn at memorial ceremonies around the country. ![]() Photo on right by Ester Inbar on left by Iorsh. Perhaps, for this reason, it is also known in Arabic as “dam al-Massiah”, meaning “blood of Christ”. According to Wikipedia, the name “dam haMakabim” is derived from a legend saying that in every spot where the flower grows, a drop of blood has been spilled on the earth. Thank you, Artistic Flowers.“Blood of the Maccabees” (in Hebrew: dam hamakabim) - also known as Red Everlasting - is a flowering plant of the genus Helichrysum in the daisy family. They went above and beyond for me and made my daughter very happy. I would tell everyone to give this wonderful shop your business. ![]() My daughter received the gorgeous arrangement today and is so happy with them. They were so kind and said it was no problem. I was so hesitant to let them do this because it was entirely my own fault. She would call the driver and have him return the arrangement to the shop and do another bouquet for the next week. When I mentioned how frustrated I was with myself for making this mistake, but was willing to own it, the proprietor immediately said not to worry. I called that morning around 9:30, and the flowers were already on the truck going out to her. I realized on the very day they were to be delivered I had made a mistake on the date. I took a chance by finding Artistic Flowers on the web, knowing nothing about them, and called to order. I live in California and had wanted to order flowers for my daughter in LO.
