A term for carved open flowers or blossoms—decorative elements in Solomon's temple's interior woodwork. First Kings 6 describes the temple's cedar panels carved with gourds and 'open flowers' (verses 18, 29, 32, 35), creating an ornamental pattern resembling a garden paradise. The temple's interior thus evoked Eden through carved vegetation—no stone was visible, only wood decorated with botanical motifs. The 'open flowers' suggest blossoms in full bloom, perhaps representing life, beauty, and the flourishing of God's creation. This decoration transformed the temple into a sacred garden, a meeting place where heaven and earth intersected through symbolic vegetation.
