Its nice to dream about figs especially during the winter! my dream variants are:

St. Rita
Latarolla
Rockaway Green
Col de Dame (both light & dark)
Ronde de Bordeaux

Just in case somebody is new, there is a thread " Official wish list for 2013..." which suppose to consolidate all dreams and dreamers. It proved to be efficient as many dreamers have fulfilled their dreams posting over there, and I was one of them.
May your wildest dreams come true!

Boris,
I couldn't seem to find that thread.

Rafed,
why Ice Crystal? Appearance?

i think i have enough figs to enjoy for awhile.. tho, Maltese Beauty would be the one that i'll be looking for soon. can really think of much at this time. i mean, i want to try everything under the sun, but it's a juggle to just keep the ones i have happy.

if there is one fig that i'll take to an island with me, providing that island has limitless source of fresh water to drink and doesn't rain, it would be Paradiso Gene and my VdB Paradise Nursery. they put out good number of figs and taste amazing when ripen just right. but they both don't care too much for rain.

John,

I have it for its' appearance, that and the DFIC0023

Here is the wish list thread:
Annual Wish-List of 6 Cuttings for 2012-13.

Rafed, overhere I understand ice crystal is the "addictive" stuff and could land a person
vacationing in paradise(jail) on tax payers a/c.

Paul,

I'm talking about the Ice Crystal of the Ficus Carica type.
Not the one that takes you to the stars and back.

Once the leaves mature I will post it. It is  beautiful plant and one amongs the hardest to get. I am lucky a good fig friend gave me one.
He could have easily got a hundred or two dollars on it if he put it on Ebay.

Here are some pictures I found off google,

I would have to say in order.
Noir de Coromb
Kathleens black
Red Lebanese 
Florea
RdB
Nordland
O'rourke
Loung D'Aout
that will finish my collection.
Black Bethlehem (waiting on)

Dream Fig
