PS099 A  flower from one of the common weeds in Oman with a scientific
name of calotropis procera (apple of sodom or rubber bush).

I found this flower while having my early morning photowalk just a stone's throw away from a friend's house in Shinas, a town located north of Sohar.  I would like to thank one anonymous person who commented on this post and kindly gave the name of the said flower. I also learned that it's not a rare flower but rather a common one and from a weed plant.  See comment below.  Whoever you are, thank you very much.

    1. That's Calotropis procera (Sodom's apple). It's not rare, but one of the commonest weeds of Oman.
