> - An anemone – red in colour, the most common wildflower in the area.
> - The sun – yellow in colour, symbolising the city's growth and renewal.
> - Mountains – green in colour, symbolising the city's geographical location amongst the mountains of the Galilee.
> - Rocks – white in colour, symbolising the city's origins.
