Fig-fruit and leave

Melbourne, Australia

The Common fig (Ficus carica) is a large, deciduous shrub or small tree native
to southwest Asia and the eastern Mediterranean region
The fig fruit is actually the flower of the tree, known as an inflorescence (an arrangement of multiple flowers),
a false fruit or multiple fruit, in which the flowers and seeds grow together to form a single mass.

That's beautifully captured, Mieke & I adore figs so now my mouth is watering.
