Fig tree
The fig tree can grow to 5m tall, it has dark green leaves and unisex seeds. It grows wildly and on rocky grounds. It gives fruit all year around, But the fruit only tastes good in August to September. The male fruit is only edible because the female fruit is full of Larvae. Eve and Adam covered themselves with fig leaves, their are many types of fig leaves.
By planting two or three olive trees very close the trees will attach together.
Olive tree
They can grow 100m above sea level, but it is usually more common at about 600, also the tree needs dry soil. The olives that comes off the tree, are green or black, the colour depends on when they are picked. When they are picked in November to December they are green and in January to February are black. This plant can live up to 1500 years.

The Cliff Rose is about 50 centimetres tall, this is a bushy white flower, with green leaves that sometimes has white spots on it. This flower grows on rocky fields and chalky grounds. So this flower would grow on cliffs and small mountains. It also blooms in March-June when its the dry season, and one flower blooms a day.
Climate
Octopia is a Mediterranean vegetation, ecozone and ecoregions. So that means that there is mild wet winters and warm dry summers.
Greece is a Mediterranean climate and can be divided into two main seasons, in the winters it is mild and rainy, and in summers is warm and dry with lots of sunshine. The cold and rainy period starts from mid October until end of March. The coldest months are January and February with a mean minimum temperature between 5°C -10 °C, and near greece’s coasts 0°C-5°C. On the mainland during “winter” is generally below freezing over in the northern part of the country, also, “winter” is milder in the Aegean and Ionian islands compared to the Northern and Eastern part of Greece. The warm and dry period (summer) starts in April and ends in September. The warmest period of the season occurs during the last 10 days of July and August, and the mean maximum temperature between 29°C-35°C. During the warm period the weather is almost always the same its sunny with a clear sky, and almost never has rain, but some times are infrequent rain and thunderstorms usually on the mainland. Also, in the warm and dry period the high temperatures are covered by cool sea winds coming from the Aegean sea.
Earthquakes are the biggest danger in greece this happens because greece is between 3 major tectonic plates, Eurasia , Africa and Arabian plates. The motion of the major plates drives the smaller plates to move in greece which makes earthquakes. Most of the small earthquakes are in central and Northern Greece which are from interaction with the Eurasia and the small Aegean sea plate. The floods happen lots but not so bad to kill anybody like an earthquake, the floods happen because they are close to the water and get lots of rain.
In my weather tracking I noticed that the weather in Octopia isn't much different to canada’s summers. The average maximum temperature on my graph would be 18 to 20 °C and the average minimum temperature 12 to 14 °C.
