La pianta del cappero cresce spontaneamente in tutto il bacino del Mediterraneo. Nell'arcipelago delle Isole Eolie viene coltivato da tempo immemore, trovando in questo contesto particolare vigore ed eccezionale vitalità, grazie alla particolarità del suolo vulcanico e alle condizioni climatiche nettamente favorevoli: ventosità media, scarsissima umidità. Si tratta di una pianta arborea cespugliosa ermafrodita con produzione a scalare: mano a mano che i germogli crescono si formano i boccioli, che costituiscono quelli che noi chiamiamo “capperi”. Entro il quattordicesimo giorno dalla sua formazione il bocciolo fiorisce. Il fiore del cappero è un fiore di rara bellezza. Detto anche “l'orchidea del mediterraneo” Il cappero, dunque, non è altro che il bocciolo della pianta. Quando il bocciolo è sfiorito, resta il cosiddetto gineceo ovvero l'ovaloide che contiene i semi. Si tratta di una sorta di piccola bacca (come lo è quella della rosa canina, ad esempio) che viene chiamata e consumata come cucuncio. Tra i muri, o tra vecchi ruderi non è affatto difficile vedere penzolare tra le crepe una pianta di cappero costellata, tra giugno e settembre, di fiori simili a stelle cadenti bianco-viola. Ma non sempre è possibile assistere a questo straordinario spettacolo. Una leggenda narra, infatti, che una divinità era così invidiosa della bellezza dei fiori della pianta del cappero, che rese i suoi boccioli “saporiti” e ne fece dono agli uomini; e fu così che si cominciò a fare a meno della bellezza della fioritura del cappero, per poter mangiare il suo bocciolo, quell'invitante bottoncino verde utilizzato in tantissime ricette. -------Tutte le foto contenute in queste gallerie sono copyright Sergio Bartolomeo e non possono essere utilizzate in alcuna forma senza il consenso dell'autore.

Yes you are right Mary, this goal has always given me great satisfaction.
In this shot I managed to combine its qualities with the right lighting to give justice to a flower that fascinates me very much

I look ecstatic at the beauty of this flower. I read your interesting and compelling caption and convince myself that legends tell fantastic stories based on reality. The beauty of this flower is really rare. A wonderful work of art.
'm also going to learn a lot about the caper. We are used to seeing them in glass jars but I did not know that what I eat is nothing more than the stadium that precedes this wonderful flower.
Thane for giving me a pill of knowledge and many, many compliments for the beautiful photography

A legend as beautiful as the flower!!! Beautiful macro, congratulations Sergio for this slight wonder!
I love that goal, it gives magic when we try to get lost in the small world of bees.
A dear greeting.

I also love this goal, perhaps the one that gives me the most satisfaction.
I also love the caper flower, so humble, known more as the bud we eat, than as a flower, yet its elegance is indisputable. Beautiful in Sicily, in spring, when it makes cheerful and colorful corners of bare rock or old walls.
I thank you very much for your nice comment and for the compliments
A dear greeting and many wishes for merry Christmas and happy holidays
Sergio
