Madonna of the Pomegranate by Botticelli, 1487 (cropped)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomegranate
I've got a seedling that popped up under one of the old 'Wonderful' trees back home in AL; dug it up and potted it - it's spent the last 3 or 4 winters in my office, by the window. I've not yet brought it in for the winter, this year - it's probably leafless and near-dormant now; will re-leaf and bloom, but it never sets fruit, even when I tried hand-pollinating - flowers just drop off. It usually gets dried out and defoliates a couple of times during the winter.
I can usually keep it alive, but it typically looks pretty sad by the time spring comes.
