Figs



.





.






The figs are just going over now. This variety is called Brown Turkey.
We made kilos and kilos of jam this year.
The flowers are a variety of Hibiscus called syriacus 'Hamabo', a smallish tree a.k.a. Rose of Sharon.

The pretty handwoven rug is a new find. It looks old I found it at a local sale table.
I think it might be a persian kelim, which is a flat weave in natural died wool.

Your photos are awesome. I'm not sure I've ever eaten a fig. The flowers are just gorgeous.
