"Cvet z juga" ("Flower of the south") is a "popera" song by Alenka Gotar, and represented Slovenia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007. The song is about a girl who bids farewell to her boyfriend and gives him a white flower (Moj beli cvet - My white flower) as a reminder.

At the close of voting, it had received 140 points, placing seventh in a field of twenty eight, and bringing Slovenia to the final for the first time since 2003.
On the night of the final, the song performed seventh, following Macedonia's Karolina Gočeva with "Mojot svet" and preceding Hungary's Magdi Rúzsa and "Unsubstantial Blues". At the close of voting, it had received 66 points, placing fifteenth in a field of twenty four.
