Tonight was a great night for me. After driving through the rain for an hour I finally got to meet up with Charitup (Goss). At first I was just meeting up to get some fig plants from him but quickly found out that he is a member of this forum, such a small world! It was so great seeing all his plants. He was also nice enough to show me how he starts his cuttings to how he roots his plants in his plastic container mini greenhouses. He showed me many of his varieties and they all looked so lush and green and beautiful. I also got to meet his wonderful and friendly wife which I quickly found out doesn't like figs! I find that funny cause his place looks like a fig plant nursery. I originally only wanted a few varieties, 1 of which I wanted because it was on NewnanDawg's top 5 list and another because he commented it as "awesome", but Goss gave me many other plants! At the end of the evening I left with 7 different varieties:
I'm so excited and very nervous about having these varieties. To me they are so rare that I dont want to mess anything up. I hope they grow into beautiful plants and I hope they branch a lot so I can soon share.
The order of the varieties in the pictures from left to right:

Thank You again so much Charitup!
