Caper (Capparis spinosa) is one of the commonest of Mediterranean and west Asian plants. It is found on every wall or cliff. The young buds, young fruits and young stems are pickled and than edible.
During summer time u can enjoy cappers flowers, they are open in night time and early morning, after that they wilt. The flower produces nectar in its base which attracts long-tongued insects. I managed to take this picture with my pocket camera.
"Capers are very common in the cold deserts of Ladakh. Here you can see an open fruit, "waiting" for for birds to disperse its red seeds. Red is known to attact birds and is common in many bird-dispersed fruits, such as hawthorn, malberry and cherry.
The identity of these populations is still unclear, since Capparis spinosa in the broad sense, was split into several geographic species."
