The Expo 67 Montreal Canada memorial album (published by Thomas Nelson and Sons, 1968) has a similar photograph that Bill Dutfield took (see page 187.)  These mechanical flowers would open and close and were identified in the memorial album as being part of the Israel Pavilion. They were described as "Blooms in the desert, thanks to irrigation." The next two photographs in this sequence were also identified from the same page number.
