Hey grasa, those are very nice. Your panache looks awesome, yours have a lot more green stripes where mines look a lot more yellow.

Looking at your wonderful Panachee, I was reminding myself about how this particular fig tree has come to exist. Like all living things, even humans, sometimes "chimeras" occur. The Panachee fig is a chimera. A plant is said to be a chimera when cells of more than one genotype ( its genetic makeup) are found growing adjacent to tissues of that plant.

That's how the Panachee got its stripes!

They taste great.  Are you having the same heat wave Potyland is?  That will help them ripen.

Joe, thanks for the enlightenment, very educational comment. Isn't science great ? :)
Here's a mellow version of introduction to the subject. http://bodygeeks.com/2011/04/wtf-wednesdays-chimeras/
