Weeping Fig - OK not my favourite native species, but an Aussie battler salvaged off the footpath a few years back.
Being a failed attempt as an indoor house plant (no leaves, dead looking trunks, no longer in a pot)

Not all Aussie's can be as stunning as Miranda Kerr, Kylie Minogue, or Elle Macpherson...... some of us have to be Barry Humphries!

The Vegemite jar for "scale" was a quality move :yes:
... nice job all, enjoying checking these out. I'll have to see what I can find (if anything) worthy of posting.
