Description
I photographed this caper flower at my son's house in Santa Tecla... it grew into a crack in the ground!
Monday morning I will return to Santa Tecla to continue my "work" of Grandma... I will return to my house next weekend.
I wish you all a wonderful week! :)
Thank you all for looking and for previous comments and favourites!

Fantastic capture an motif, Maria. Such an incredibly beautiful flower. An amazing artwork from mother nature, when she is at her best. Very interesting information too.
