Lavry composed the Flower Symphony for the opening of the 1964 Annual International Flower Exhibition that was held in Haifa. The composition was written for the Haifa Children’s Choir and two local youth orchestras: the Haifa Woodwind Orchestra and the Haifa Plucked Instruments Orchestra.
The six movements describe indigenous flowers that were included in the exhibition:
- Prelude
- Chavatzelet Hasharon – Sea Daffodil
- Hatzabar – Prickly Pear
- Rakefet – Cyclamen
- Chamtitz – Oxalis
- Zer Prachim – Bouquet
