Caper Flower
The Caper Flower is the bloom of the caper bush, scientifically known as Capparis spinosa. This plant is native to the Mediterranean region and thrives in rocky, dry environments. The flowers are large, with long, protruding stamens that are typically white or pale pink, and they bloom in late spring to early summer.
The caper bush is also known for its edible flower buds, which are harvested and pickled to create caper condiments. These capers are commonly used in Mediterranean cuisine, adding a tangy flavor to dishes like pasta and salads. The flowers themselves are not usually consumed but are appreciated for their beauty.
