it's not common in the wild.
it is cultivated but mostly in older gardens. one sprouted out of nowhere in the walls of my mother's garden :)
It is a fern of eastern Asia.

I call every Reichardia I see in Malta: Reichardia picroides. I have no idea how to identify intermedia from picroides, even though many authors described both as occurring. In Malta picroides is very common everywhere and I mean everywhere!

yes that is one of the ironies of Maltese society
there are a lot of aromatic plants growing in the wild, and most of the Maltese ignore them.

? Capparis spinosa

Is this Capparis spinosa? It had tiny spiny stipules less than 1mm in length, which were quite cute. Or is it just a variety of Capparis orientalis. At Wied Speranza on 08/06/2015.
