Dear fig collectors,
We can all help clean up some of this fig naming mess, incorrect spelling of fig names by doing a quick search and asking on the forum, yes thank you for asking " GINA". The ones I notice are the french ones of course and sometimes make the same errors with figs from other countries. We are a diverse group , we can help each others, we need to question when we see multiple spellings for the same fig. The point is to become aware , mistakes will be made, no problem, so long that eventually we know what the correct spelling is.
As far as the naming of the figs, in France there are different names for the same variety as well, for example :"Madeleine blanche des deux saisons" is also called "Jaune d'Argenteuil". More often than not it is a descriptive regional appelation.
I hope no feathers are ruffled, my intent is to help in the simplest way and mind you I make mistakes as well even in french!
Joseph
