    Does it have any sort of mustardy smell? Those fruits sure look Brassicaceae-like.

    Brassicaceae is a family of related plants (the mustards). I had a look through these and none of them seemed to be a great match (though some are missing photographs): Wild Plants of Malta - Plant Family Index

    Thanks but this is not a Maltese plant and it's not found here. I came across it on the net as I do Dioramas and wish to find out what it is as I need to purchase it and maybe grow it in time.

    But it is definitely something of Brassicaceae as Daniel told.
    And a genus is very likely Lepidium.
    Lepidium latifolium L.

    You are right Daniel, I didn't mention any info as I wasn't sure I was in the right place. I have zero knowledge about plants and found this forum and thought it would help me in my search. I do diorama as a hobby and use some different dried flowers and plants in order to make the vegetation. I usually use like caspia and teloxys aristata ( I call them this way, have no idea if it is the right name). Lately came across the plant mentioned above will searching on the net. The person selling it named it "teloxys bloom". I'm not into plant like you but still can tell that they are both different and come from different families, that is why I need your professional help. I can purchase it on line but it is expensive to ship it over to Malta and I also need al lot of it, and was wondering wether I could find a different source or even grown it . thanks Adrian caspia.jpg teloxys-aristata-seeds.jpg
