Looks very nice Budi. Vasilika Melissi is totally different variety. Hope you receive your cuttings soon.

thanks Kausik & Aaron4USA

HI Kausik

Do you have the vasilika melissi

Yog

Yeah, the USA Marva Sika is very good tasting. Hope some day DNA would  help to sort out the
variety.

Hello Enigma !

Welcome to the forum.
Thank you very much for your input.

As I understand you live in Australia and in this regard may be you could bring up some light on a local 'Mavra Sika' fig known by 'Spanish Dessert' and apparently quite common over there.
Could you tell a bit more of such cultivar ?
I am told that this could be an old Greek variety.

Andreas, thanks for the clarification...

Just like people here talk about Foco Preto... means Black Fig... 

Old generation immigrants used to call their figs by the color... Mavra, Aspra...Branco, Preto...etc...they never cared about science behind it. they wanted to have what there was in their country backyard, so they chose one black, one white/green variety cuttings and brought with them to US. 
Just like my few friends here in LA, they have the most delicious figs ever , yet, all they call them by is COLOR... Spanish, Italians, Greeks and Armenians... they call them Blacks and Whites.

I, for one, never thought Melissi meant color of honey, I would say..Xroma Melis perhaps...(meaning color of honey) and I just verified with my sister she said Yes, Melissi means color of honey. Go figure.

Thank you Enigma for all the information.
This has been for me (I am very curious) a mystery if you like.
We read various pieces of information with generic descriptions of that cultivar  but fail to see pictures of the real fruit ! On some written material there are pictures not clearly associating images to text and the same pictures are found all over the Internet to show nice 'black figs'.

I decided to try and find out how could I buy some scions to root and/or graft them here and with some luck arrive at the real stuff,,, will keep pushing

As for the W/cup thank you  and hope Fernando may save the honors !
