A New Plant in the Garden

 

I discovered a new plant in the garden that I hadn't seen before.  First I noticed these unusual but very pretty blooms.


The small bush-like plant had lots of these wispy looking blooms on it.  Then I noticed the sign underneath the plant.  It said it was a caper plant.


Sure enough, there were caper berries all over the plant. This was a first for me.  I'd never seen a caper plant before.  I have to admit that from time to time when I've opened a jar of capers, I've wondered where they came from.

I had no idea capers had such interesting flowers! I wonder who first thought of eating a caper. Seems like "desperation food."
