Ficus carica growth

Appreciating the birth of nature, observing the development of the ficus carica in the garden.

I like figs. They are one of my favorite fruits, along with kaki persimmon.

But right here, I'm not looking at them from their edible side.
Here I look at them with my eyes, not my stomach 😄 (maybe because they are still very small and not edible).

I look at them with the eyes of the discoverer. With the eyes of the admirer who worships the majesty of nature.

(First day from my observation.)

Through the eyes of a person who rediscovers the world.
Because you know, no one knows something well if he doesn't look at the details in it, if he doesn't pay enough attention to it.

(Second day.)

Because I myself never knew that the growth of a fig starts with such buds. That leaves and fruits develop at the same time. That everything is so small in the beginning. And all so green. 😌

(Third day)

And now I look at the figs with their leaves as little babies, whose development I can observe directly every day, but nothing depends on me. Because nature takes care of everything. It is the most caring mother for all its children.

(Eighth day)

(Twelfth day)

(Fifteenth day)

There was no big difference in fruit growth during the first days of my observation. In fact, the fruits are still small and very green, although the leaves are more or less developed.

(Twenty-fifth day)

But there is still a long way to go before they get ripe.
And I will wait.
Patiently.
Because these are some of my favorite fruits. 😊
