The red everlasting is a flowering plant of the genus "Helichrysum" in the daisy family (Asteraceae).

It is a protected plant in some jurisdictions (in particular, Israel and the Palestinian Authority).

It is a symbol for the Israeli Yom Hazikaron (Memorial Day for the Israeli Fallen Soldiers and the Victims of Terrorism) and is worn on ceremonies on the white shirt.

It is known there as "Blood of the Maccabees" (Hebrew: דם המכבים, "Dam Hamakabim").It's name comes from a legend saying that in every spot one grows, a drop of blood has been spilled on the earth.This is where it's significance in the Yom Hazikaron ceremonies comes, to remind the people that a lot of blood was spilled to allow them to live on the land of Israel.
