  • The Cryptic Caper Bush

    The Cryptic Caper Bush

    The Cryptic Caper Bush Nature in the Parasha – Parashat Pinchas Printable Version Delicate Fleeting Flower Flash with Steadfast Perseverance Caper Flowers in Rebbetzin’s Garden Every summer I am dazzled by the exquisite elegant caper flowers with their stunning purple pistils enveloping them like daunting protective power plants. These exotic delicate flowers open their petals at the dusk of the cooling sundown summer evenings, for a tantalizing fleeting flash until the blazing late morning sun wilt away their elusive petals at the heart of day. During the growing peak of the year from fall to summer, when the Middle Eastern landscape bursts with flowery herbage, the latent caper plant stands silently dormant. A few dry sticks is all that remains of its former glory. Yet, during the scorching month of Tamuz (July) with the wilting sun-beaten yellowish scenery, the raw beauty of the striking caper flowers surprise us with their splendor. Not only are the caper flowers a delight for the eyes, the capers can be cured into a piquant delicacy served at the Shabbat table. For centuries, capers have been one of the most desired ingredients in the kitchens all around the Mediterranean basin. They are very high in powerful anti-oxidants, and contain a good amount of vitamin K, which promotes bone health and prevents excessive bleeding. Vitamin K also aids in cell growth, development of cartilage and the nervous system. Caper parts are used to relieve rheumatic pain in traditional medicine. In addition, the spicy caper pickles help relieve stomachache and flatulence. I always look forward to Parashat Pinchas, which mentions the capers by way of allusion.

It has a great adaptability to harsh environments and an exceptional ability to extract water from dry soils. In Croatia, the caper grows as a wild plant, and its cultivation is insignificant, which is probably due to propagation difficulties. Micropropagation could be a solution for this. The aim of this study was to investigate the success of the micropropagation, in vitro rooting, and acclimatization of Capparis orientalis Veill. Shoot proliferation was tested in a Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium, with sucrose or glucose, and in 13 treatments, presenting the combined effect of different cytokinins and their concentrations.

Abstract: The caper plant is widespread in Sicily (Italy) both wild in natural habitats and as special- ized crops, showing considerable morphological variation. However, although contributing to a thriving market, innovation in caper cropping is low. The aim of the study was to evaluate agronomic and production behavior of some biotypes of Capparis spinosa L. subsp. rupestris, identified on the Island of Linosa (Italy) for growing purposes. Two years and seven biotypes of the species were tested in a randomized complete block design. The main morphological and production parame- Citation: La Bella, S.; Rossini, F.; ters were determined.

  • Swollen Bladderwort: an Exotic Aquatic Plant Utricularia Inflata

    Swollen Bladderwort: an Exotic Aquatic Plant Utricularia Inflata

    Swollen Bladderwort: An Exotic Aquatic Plant Utricularia inflata Description · Swollen Bladderwort is a rootless, carnivorous, bushy submerged plant that can form dense mats at the water surface. · Bladderworts are a genus of plants that prey on planktonic organisms. Organisms are lured to the bladders with a sweet scent, and when trigger hairs on the bladder are brushed, the trap door opens and a vacuum force pulls the prey inside to be digested. · The lace-like green leaves are branched and filled with seed-like bladders. · In early spring, 3-15 yellow snap-dragon shaped flowers develop on emergent stalks. The stalks are supported by a floating pontoon comprised of 4-10 leaves arranged like the spokes of a wheel. The pontoon leaves are 1.5” long and appear inflated. Swollen Bladderwort Habitat Swollen Bladderwort is native to southern United States, but is non-native in Massachusetts. · Over-winters in the frozen lakes of northern climates and can thrive in warm southern water bodies. · Grows under a wide range of water chemistry conditions and can be found in oligotrophic (low nutrient), eutrophic (nutrient rich) and acidic waters. · Prefers slow moving waters, including lakes, ponds and slow moving rivers. · Bladderworts ability to consume small organisms in addition to absorbing nutrients directly from the water column, provide a competitive advantage over other species. Commonwealth of Massachusetts ~ Department of Conservation and Recreation ~ Office of Water Resources ~ Lakes and Ponds Program 1 Distribution Map Reproduction Swollen Bladderwort reproduces by both vegetative methods and seed formation. · Vegetatively, U. inflata reproduces by stem (rhizome) fragmentation. Stems fragment easily and most pieces can re-sprout and grow into new plants.

We investigated whether a root-feeding moth found closely associated with oxeye daisy in Europe could be used as a biological control agent for the plant when weedy. We found that the moth could develop on 11 out of 74 plant species that we tested in laboratory conditions when it was given no choice of plants.

The evergreen leaves of the Jamaica Caper are light- green above, with fine brown scales below. These glossy, oval leaves are folded together when they first emerge and give the plant’s new growth a bronze appearance. The leaves also have a notched tip. Twigs are brownish gray and pubescent. Jamaica Caper flowers have very showy, two-inch-long, purple stamens and white anthers and white petals. The inflorescence is comprised of terminal clusters consisting of 3 to 10 individual flowers. The fruits are 3- to 8-inch-long cylindrical pods containing small brown seeds that are embedded in a scarlet pulp.
