I couldn’t believe my eyes when I drove over a waste ground this afternoon and was faced with a huge number of these flowers growing by themselves in the wild. I had to get out of my car to investigate and was gobsmacked to find out that these bushes (and plenty of them) are capers!

There are literally hundreds of these flowers in the bushes, and as you will see from this collection, they are simply surrounded by rubbish!

Diamonds in the rough?

Well, if you look for something nice, you could even find it in what seems to be a desolate ground.

The first time this plant flowers with me. I bought this herb plant, the Caper (Capparis spinosa) from the recent Bahrain Garden Show and put it in a pot by the front door on a pedestal as it has a habit of "flowing" and it looks gorgeous in its place on a pedestal.

There are other buds forming so soon we might be able to enjoy a number of these delicate looking beautiful flowers.

Much better than eating their buds, this is a feast for the eyes, and it’s not even Friday yet!
