oh,oh, oh...

poms are my favorite fruit,
in the whole wide world,
and so much trouble!

in my house we call it the outside fruit
because, well...you kow why...
staining seeds everywhere.

i have never seen the blossom
and here you have presented it so nicely!

thank you ever so...

Sometimes things elude you all your life and then you encounter them more than once in a short period of time. I saw a pomegranate tree in Cabunchio, Apulia, a couple of weeks ago, but wasn't sure about (showing only blossoms), then I found this one here, at the Palace of Prince Eugene, with small fruits already showing. A search at Google revealed it truly was a pomegranate. Such a lovely tree!
Your fruit to be eaten outside story reminds me of an essay about mangos, I think it was in the New Yorker Magazine. The writer suggested eating a ripe mango in your underwear over the kitchen sink. Alone, if possible, of course. ;-)

good story about mangos...

that is how we eat
a ripe tomato sandwich
for lunch here in the south,

add lots of freshly ground pepper,
some salt,
and stand over the kitchen sink!

such a simple pleasure, quickly consumed!

:-)

i must be hungry!

This is a wonderful picture! I never realized I had no idea what a pomegranate blossom looked like. It is beautiful.
