crocus, meadow-saffron, or narcissus; a spring flower symbolizing beauty and flourishing
This term refers to a flowering plant, most likely the meadow saffron (colchicum autumnale) or crocus, though some suggest narcissus. In Song of Songs 2:1, the Shulammite bride identifies herself as 'a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys'—the first element being 'habatzelet.' In Isaiah 35:1, the desert will 'blossom like the crocus' in the eschatological renewal, an image of barren places bursting into bloom. Syriac and Assyrian cognates refer to marsh plants or flowers, and the term evokes springtime beauty and sudden, vibrant growth.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — A noun for a beautiful flowering plant, likely a crocus or meadow saffron, used symbolically for loveliness and fertility. The Song of Songs employs it in the bride's self-description—she is as delicate and lovely as the wildflowers of Sharon's plain. Isaiah turns it into an eschatological metaphor: the wasteland will bloom abundantly, like the crocus in springtime, when Yahweh restores creation. The plant's brief, brilliant flowering makes it a natural emblem for transformation and hope. Botanical uncertainties aside, the poetic force is clear: sudden, radiant beauty. 2×
