A sunny week & the fig tree is in full bloom 💐
No, those aren’t fruit – they’re flowers. Or more properly, syconia, large numbers of inverted flowers in a green outer layer 🙃
Waiting to be pollinated by tiny fig wasps that crawl inside, then living, reproducing, & in many cases, dying there 🐝
Figs are weird 😬
As for the little fig leaves, well, they remind me of the narcissistic sociopaths who’re trying to destroy the world to make up for their inadequacies 🤷♂️
