SPOKEN IN THE GARDEN WITH THE SPRING 2011

Late last fall I spoke seriously pampered and spoiled my fig tree, I said.

- You're getting older and I do not care who occupies much of the garden. Your roots are becoming more powerful and hoard large amounts of nutrients for your development.

You're not trying too hard in the fruits that I offer and a great majority of them are squander. So I will them to undergo drastic pruning and have all the winter period to reflect on your future.

Ficus carica is a wise ancient tree usually gives much and asks little. In the Mediterranean basin grow feral and generous land.

is accompanied by rites and legends and then and see that I admire and do not intend to remove the magical garden regardless of its worth, we will see some of his legendary stories.

Egyptians 4,500 years ago led to his writing as a hieroglyphic symbol.

Its leaves have been the clothing with which some artists have covered parts of those so-called Pudenta our first parents. I think that these artists had not picked figs in his life. The plant as you cut a leaf or a fig clips flatters you with drops of a latex highly stinging human skin. They say that white substance is good for removing warts .... not me .. Some say that the leaf clothing of Adam and Eve was a fig here also disagree with the painter fig leaf is too small for such a role

But about the fig tree ;

I totally agree with Plato who said that he regarded as divine fruits figs, the truth is that they are my favorites. I think I could share a very rich fruit basket with him and listen under the leafy shade of the sage words.

De Cato has prompted the Roman Senate to meet in the Punic Wars against Carthage and was throwing a handful of figs in the center of the great assembly of figs hurts!

Loba Capitolina

To find a good shade of the fig tree to shelter under it and to feed their children human Romulus and Remus.

moved ensconced Asp in a basket of figs that they say a local man approached the gates of the palace by order of the great lady to avoid suspicion about what he wanted. This is not just to agree that if the basket had figs, that if they were flowers, the fact is that the sweet fruit is again present even in the death of Cleopatra.

scholars on the death of the Egyptians do not quite agree and it is interesting the version given that some of the Cleopatra was ready to die but given their knowledge of toxicology and that cultivated plants and specialized, so they say, in the poisonous cocktail preparing rehearsed on death row so he could improve and decide how their preparations called the reaper. They say those who advocate this theory that the lady in question did not choose an asp as its bite causes immense pain and necrosis. Cleopatra certainly was not prepared to find that necrologicamante impresentable and say they decided on a balanced cocktail of opium and hemlock. Among such assumption at the end is not where the basket of figs.

And finally, and looking at these photographs is as it is now my fig.
see that the appearance of the fig is very original. An extension of the stem, a corpuscle to be swelling and that, here come the originality that the Judeo-Christian curse tree cursed by Jesus.
(Jesus would not like figs)
Inside the FIG is flowering and therefore is not visible, weird, weird. The openings of the end of the bulge is where the insects pollinate the fruit or charged depends on the insect visitor.

So I talked to my fig tree last fall and this spring as its openings fruit flirt with whom you should not have to leave the garden is very legendary
