Ok, so I bought more plants today.
- Ficus
- a bunch of flowers for the front yard
The flowers don’t count as they will only last a season. But the Ficus…ah. It is truly a nice one. The tag said it was Ficus alli. It has long strappy leaves and a really nice upright form. Best of all, we brought it home, repotted it and stuck it in the house and it didn’t drop a single leaf! Compare this to my other Ficus, which drops leaves if you look at it wrong. I’ve not taken a pic of it yet, but the one below is just a larger version of mine.
