Ficus Petiolaris

[photo taken 20 April 2001]
My Ficus Petiolaris (commonly known as Lava Fig,
Sonoran Rock Fig, or Mary's Tree) is one of my favorite plants and I treat
it more like a houseplant than a succulent. The
leaves have a beautiful strong vein pattern. This plant was purchased
(along with seven other succulents) at Lone Pine Gardens (6450 Lone Pine
Road, Sebastopol, CA 95472; 707/823-5024) on
18 July 1998.
