Common Caper (Capparis Zoharyi)
Fifth in the "Flowers of Israel" Series
Few are the plants able to grow on sand and rocks in harsh conditions with lack of soil and water, like the caper. The caper stands out with its big pollen-rich flowers that open towards evening. The flowers attract "caper" bees of the carpenter bee family, which are active towards evening and during clear nights. At night, the pollinators visit the capers and enjoy the abundance of nectar at the base of the flower.
