Still a top-tier workhorse in the fig orchard, So sweet and fruity when really ripe, and so strong flavored when it starts to dehydrate just a little.

Very artistic.  Maybe it's time to sell a line of cards with your photos to help support the foundation.

Very nice!

Yesssssssssssssssss :-))

Nice looking fig and deserves to be bumped up.

Jon That is a great pic and all different versions of Celeste which is very cool to see together. My son is an abstract artist and he has an arrangement to sell his work on a couple websites. He sends the image and they apply it to all manner of items, tee shirts, mugs, tote bags, jewlery etc. I think the suggestion to market your images for the foundation is an excellent one. If you would like the info on what companies my son is set up with shoot me a pm or email. 

Bob and Barry: keep the ideas coming. They are not falling on deaf ears.

We are, hopefully, a couple weeks from our first Board meeting, and taking the next steps to make the Foundation a reality.

One of the topics will be membership, and perks for membership. Coffee mugs and the usual stuff did not excite me, but your comments have opened some new avenues. Suzi had an idea the other day, and I don't think it will work (and I may be wrong), but it has definitely sparked some thought about ways to implement the idea in a manner which is compatible with this enterprise.

The sharing of ideas is part of the "community" aspect of figs that is so enjoyable.

I would wear a fig tee shirt and drink from a fig coffee mug. I very much doubt that I am the only one!
