Eyal (6) and I were out walking among the post-rain wildly-blooming wildflowers . . .
when he spotted this still-closed flower with curly leaves.
He gave it a little kvetch (pinch) just to help it along.
Today, ten days later, I passed and found that same flower fully opened in all its glory!
Enlarge the photo to find happy insects inside.

This is my first winter living in the Negev desert and I am positively surprised by the abundance of beautiful wildflowers.

Quite a few insects seem to be enjoying the flower as well.
ReplyDeleteThat is a super picture!
ReplyDeleteThat flower really does have amazing and vibrant shades to it.
ReplyDeleteThe desert can be beautiful, and its flowers are particularly showy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower. Kind of scary bugs ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful. Do you know what kind of a flower it is? I'm guessing an anemone, or possibly a species tulip.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful flower, so striking in its color and design. And I see wild mustard grows everywhere there just as it does here. Your grandson shows a strong family resemblance to you. What a blessing to be able to take walks with your grandchildren and share the beauty of nature with them.
