Re: Fig at the Botanic Gardens
My daughter was playing around this very tree last Saturday before her first cello exam at the Con. All I could see was a big bonsai...

Re: Fig at the Botanic Gardens
Looks better from the other side Ken! And it's F. macrophylla not F. rubiginosa.
I prefer the children's fig, the fig above the rockery and the one next to gov. house personally. There are some bloody fantastic trees in the gardens. I have been thinking about taking some photos and putting them on here. Do we have an "inspiration" section in the wiki?

"How did she go with Cello?"
Just found out, passed with a distinction! Not bad for a 6 year old. She must get it from her mother, cause it aint from me...
