Fig Question. Clue look up on your screen

Does anyone know what variety of fig in in the Figs 4 Fun Forum image? 

I always wondered. 

That's all.

Have a beautiful day and remember to give thanks. Life is tender and precious.

Encanto Honey I believe.

California Brown Turkey.
"gene"

I think I was told it is an Encanto Honey or Encanto BT

It is such beautiful fig. I just thought that it must be something fancy, very yummy and exotic.
Don't you think that it would be neat for all forum members to own it? Like a member fig of unity? Maybe we could all get a cutting of it and share pictures of our "family fig" from time to time.
Perhaps folks would not mind paying a little fee for thier cutting or rooted tree that could go back to support the F4F foundation.

I believe it requires caprification.  Here's the info from the varieties section

I always wonder about one of varieties in the pile of figs of the F4F home page. It's at the the 12:30 and 7:00 position. Sort of a light frosted purple/lavender color.

Thank you for all of your inputs and answers.
