Holidays are for new experiences...

And, holidays are for renewal and for seeing new sights. This is a tropical flower found at Kibbutz Ein Gedi near the Dead Sea. The blossom is Adenium obesum; it is tropical and native to East African countries and Arabia [Google].

 

The petals are about 1-1/2 inches across, and the flower is quite common in the hot, dry Dead Sea region. Ein Gedi is a well established collective community, and its entire area is a beautiful and well organized botanical garden.

 

The image was resized with just a few tweaks in editing. It has been a gorgeous spring day in Jerusalem, with the afternoon temps in the mid-80's/f. Happy Bokeh Wednesday!
