You mean this is edible??? - this plant is very common in Malta.

of course it is,
have a look on internet
the taste reminds of oyster
big cook chief use it
well , i worked in a "Jardin des 5 sens" in Yvoire haute savoie, ave a look if y wish
and there they have 5 gardens, each one for each sens : view, smell, taste, hear, and the last one ? help well for the taste it s a garden wiht all kind of plants you know, but you never know you can eat them: hemerocalle for instance, although very well known in Cambodgia, where theu eat the whole flovers, even the roots.
this is where i learn to eat bouchache, and other plants
may be you can do a business in malta with that

Thank you Cooler - It gives me a bit of a hard time to focus automattically at this close range, so whenever I can I opt for manual focus but this would require my lying down on the ground and this is not always possible:))
I also use a macro filter which gives me the ability to stay at a distance from the subject. This is great under bright sunlight conditions because otherwise getting real close would create unwanted shadows on the subject:))
