EDITORS COMMENTS
Bob Gibbons captures the vibrant spirit of Crete with this stunning print featuring the Hottentot Fig! This Mediterranean beauty, native to South Africa but now widely naturalized in southern Europe, brings a burst of color and life to any landscape. With its fleshy, succulent leaves and captivating pink flowers, it's no wonder this invasive plant has found a new home on the picturesque island of Crete. As we admire this enchanting fig species through Bob's lens, let us marvel at nature's ability to adapt and thrive in unexpected places. The Hottentot Fig serves as a reminder that even across continents, plants can find common ground and create breathtaking scenes for us all to enjoy. While some may see it as an introduced species or an invader, let's appreciate the sheer resilience and tenacity of this South African gem. Its presence adds diversity to European flora while providing nectar for local pollinators. So next time you find yourself strolling along the shores of Greece or exploring the charming streets of Crete, keep an eye out for these delightful pops of pink. And remember Bob Gibbons' incredible talent for capturing Mother Nature at her most playful!
