"Rubber Plants"
You know that lovely "Rubber Plant" you keep in the lounge and spend time shining the beautiful leaves?
Here's a grown up one.
It is a Moreton Bay Fig.

By 'ec Brucey, that's a big 'un
I was never a fan of rubber plants. But if I was I think I would have enjoyed doing a bit of spit and polish on it.

Both trees are Fig Family plants/trees ( Moreton Bay Fig + Bodhi Tree ).

Bodhi Trees have a completely different type of leaf ( heart-shaped leaf )

A tree much revered by Buddhists, the tree under which The Buddha obtained enlightenment. Every Buddhist Temple seems to have such a tree.
I have a leaf from a local Temple (Nan Tien) picked by a Chinese friend of mine and placed in her shrine.
Moreton Bay Figs are on an all together different scale, Like wombats, you definitely don't want one near your house.

That is lovely heart-shaped leaf
Do you know what type of Buddhist community is your local Temple ?
