There Is A Type Of Courage That Cannot Always Be Seen. It's A Bravery That You Have To Choose For Yourself.

There is a type of courage that cannot always be seen. It's a bravery that you have to choose for yourself. You use it in the little, seemingly insignificant choices and decisions you make each day. Keep making these tiny, good choices over and over until you realize your whole life is different and the hero who saved you is yourself.

Hey everyone!

I decided to add some interesting facts about each floral illustration or study art work that I do.

This time it was a study illustration, but others are my original works, so feel free to share or comment because I value feedback and set a goal to improve by the end of the year.

Fig is a fruit of Ficus carica, and is native to Mediterranean region, Western and Southern Asia.

It can not be well transported to the long distances as a ripe fruit but it can be used in other forms.

For e.g it can be commonly seen in dried form or in a form of a jam or rolls.

Fan facts about Figs:

Ancient Crop: Cultivated since 9400–9200 BC.

Unique Pollination: Fig wasps pollinate figs internally.

Botanical Wonder: Figs are inverted flowers, not true fruits.

Nutrient-Rich: High in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

In the past it was used as a dye for food and clothes

It has been used in Austria in traditional medicine as a tea or liqueur to treat various disorders

There is a Blueberry river in the Columbia Country in Canada

Is often used for cooking for e.g. in muffins
