Pomegranate Visitor

July 31, 2008

Pomegranates are not native to the Australian countryside,

but they have gladly made their homes there.  These beautiful

flowers and fruits are used in many recipes and have great

significance in folklore the world over.  It’s nice they have

seen fit to adapt and make these areas bright with colour

in late Summer for the flowers, and Autumn for their

bittersweet fruits.

    This is exactly what they look like, Lori. Bright jewels.

Banjo Paterson – Clancy of the Overflow
