    Description

    Caper Bush (Capparis Spinosa) - the caper bush, also called Flinders rose,
    is a perennial, flowering plant that bears rounded, fleshy leaves and large
    white to pinkish-white flowers. Caper bushes are mainly used by humans for their
    fruit, which are rich in micronutrients. Capparis spinosa, simply known as caper,
    yields fruit (caper berries) and more importantly flower buds, which are widely
    used pickled as a vegetable condiment. Other parts of Capparis plants are used
    in the manufacture of medicines and cosmetics.
