Strangler fig? |
No, it is the roots of a banyan tree. Banyan trees are tres cool. This particular one is at the Ringling Meseum in Sarasota. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d1/f8...b4f446493c.jpg Welcome back, courage. |
Banyans are figs! But I don't think they bear the same fruit as my faves, ficus carica. I always wanted to have one but I think they need a lot of room. https://s20.postimg.cc/axm510trx/fig.jpg |
I didn't know that! Thank you, courage! |
LOL I didn't know it either, until tonight ;) Have a good night, SoberLeigh. |
Is that Ringling Museum related by chance to the circus? |

Unfortunately, Mabel only lived in the home for a couple of years after completion. She met a very early death. John Ringling died a pauper but left his large collection of art to the City of Sarasota. The Art Museum is part of the Ringling estate. There is also a very captivating circus museum. People of all ages love it. |
Hey, C2 is back! Are you suntanned and relaxed? |

Thanks, SoberLeigh. That picture perfectly illustrates the description I read as a child, of Lepidoptera wings being "covered in tiny scales, overlapping like the tiles on a house-roof". :) |
Hi awuh! :wave:

Yeah—my nose is always the first thing to get sunburned! |
