| Isn't She Cute? |
Today I learned that the flower of a pomegranate is a "balaustine", and the red, fleshy tubular portion from which the petals emerge is called a "calyx".
To me the blooms just look like little tropical dancing girls with bright, fluttery hula skirts, and our trees are filled with hundreds of them.
Come Halloween there will be seemingly endless pomegranates to pick;
little Kenji will be in Hog Heaven.
