Small and sweet, this fall fruit will be a treat if you wait until it is at it's peak. One day early and your mouth will go curly-squirley. WILD PERSIMMONS.
The fruit of this flower is nature's noise maker. Drop and it may pop.
The fruit of the purple Passion Flower is a sweet hollow pod. They are called MAY-POPS!

At the end of each twig you'll find a ....FIG
