The figs flowers are inside the actual fruit. You won't see the flower unless you split open the tiny figlet. The Black mission is self-fertile, does not require caprification. Certain figs such as Calimyrna need to be pollinated by the fig wasp to produce a crop.

Here's some info on this subject.

I'm trying to learn the gardening ropes by observation so I'm trying
to observe and get into the habit of actually writing down what I
observe until I have a sense of what happens when with which plants
in our climate. I have what I believe to be a Black Mission fig tree
in my back yard. I've noticed that it seems to be leafing and
fruiting at the same time. That is, the leaf buds have popped and
there are what appear to be tiny green figs waxing in size. I didn't
see any flowers. Did I just miss something here or is this something
special about figs or this fig?
