We all have used it in cooking or in salads. The plant is a bush, able to survive in the harsh environment of the Greek islands. Its flower is beautiful and so unusual.
I found this plant on the hills near where I live. And it had some visitors and there was some activity on its leaves.
Σ' όλους μας αρέσει να την χρησιμοποιούμε στην μαγειρική και σε σαλάτες. Είναι ένας μικρός θάμνος που αναπτύσεται στους γκρεμούς των ελληνικών νησιών. Το λουλούδι του είναι πανέμορφο στην εποχή του. Αυτό το βρήκα στις πλαγιές του Υμηττού, πάνω από την Βούλα. Και είχε και αρκετούς επισκέπτες. Και κάποια δραστηριότητα.
J'ai trouvé cette plante sur les collines près de là où j'habite. Et il avait quelques visiteurs et il y avait une certaine activité sur ses feuilles.
Oh very nice shots! That's an interesting critter.

ReplyDeleteI use capers in food, with meat, but I have never seen their delicate flowers. Wonderful! How do you name the bugs in Greece? We call them "God's cow", in Romania.

Excellent photos. I was just in Greece last week and loved it. I saw many plants and vegetation that resemble those in Maine, which is quite interesting because of the different climate.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous macro shots as always, Costas. I do love the colorful bugs! Hope your weekend has gone well.

Costas, your macro shots of the insects along with the flowers are very nice!
