Vertumnus and Pomona
Pomona diosa de las frutas, árboles frutales, jardines y huertos.
Pomona is the Roman Goddess of fruit trees, gardens and orchards. she has no Greek counterpart but was associated with Demeter. Her name comes from the Latin 'ponum' which means "fruit" or "fruit tree". Pomona watches over and protects fruit trees and cares for their cultivation and is associated with their flourishing. In myth Pomona rejected the love of the woodland Gods Silvanas and Picus who attempted to woo Her, but was tricked by Vertumnas, God of seasons, change and plant growth, into letting him into Her orchard by disguising himself as an old woman. Once in the orchard he wooed Her and she married Him. A festival dedicated to Pomona and Vertumnus is celebrated on 13th August.
