#CapeHawthorn aka #WaterHawthorn.
It's native to #SouthAfrica. People there have long cultivated & harvested the buds & flowers as food. It's used to make #WaterblommetjieBredie - a traditional South African stew. The #Afrikaans name of this traditional cultural dish translates to "stew of little water flowers".

It's not a widely known edible water plant here. It's delicious. If you enjoy green beans - you'll probably enjoy eating Cape hawthorn buds/flowers too.

"#Social #Cocooning" - the "new desire for solitude" or "#cultivated #aloneness"

For some fellow human beings, this "human fussiness" is simply too much; they don't even have to be pathological sociopaths, bearish misanthropes or inveterate singles. No, on the contrary, it is apparently this new desire, at the more or less freely selected loneliness, as cultivated being alone, the so-called "Social Cocooning" as new future trend.
