Sometimes people incorrectly refer to it as the flower, but it is a hollow-ended stem containing many flowers, as one may see by splitting a fig open. The flower is not visible, as it blooms inside the fruit. The small orifice (ostiole) visible on the middle of the fruit is a narrow passage, which allows a very specialized wasp, the fig wasp, to enter the fruit and pollinate the flower, whereafter the fruit grows seeds." --WikipediaDancesWithSandyBottomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06744638027388491267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137810012036013226.post-22425492318542669972011-08-14T23:32:04.000-04:002011-08-14T23:32:04.000-04:00Who's the white dude in the water?Who's the white dude in the water?Baydoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00751866865203182109noreply@blogger.com
