Calaniot (anemones)
In our modern era red is a sign of danger or warning. A red traffic light means stop, a red city means way too many corona cases, the new health warnings for too much sugar are in red. In more ancient times an army would raise a red flag as a sign for battle and a red flag would be used to attract a bull. Further back it was a sign of blood and fire. For residents of the South of Israel in towns bordering Gaza “Tzeva Adom” or “Color Red” is a warning broadcast onto every street and into every household of an incoming missile.
