Nice Leigh
whatever it is, I have severral here too that look just like it, so when someone identifies our mine will be id'd as well

PJ have little whiteish dots towards the outside of thier leaves, and tend to have a bit lighter trunk than that of MB

OK - just spoke to the guy who grew it - he says it is a Port Jackson and is 25 years old. (lucky me!! )

My 1 year old was helping me out today and had an accident! So I had to repot it into this pot! Its a hand made porcelin pot, what do you think?

works for me leigh!

looks like ya have the same prob with photography as me, i seem to get ok pics but never clear and perfect, if you figure it out let me know!! otherwise she is looking good mate nice and healthy too, middle of spring this year looks like she will be getting some wire

the pics are crap because i couldnt be bothered getting the camera out and setting up the lights and background - I took these with my phone!

Thats a Petra Engelke pot(wife of harry Thomlinson) isn't it Leigh?

And the broken one looks like one of a boxed series that came out in the 1960s and 1970s from japan.

Nice Fig too. I hope its going inside soon.

Hi Grant - the little porcelain one was one that I got from you - so you are probably right! And yes - the busted one was a significant pot - and yes....I am a little upset about it! Not much point in getting upset - the 1 year old wouldnt understand!

it is an unfortunate accident leigh and these things happen too especially with kids, my little one grabs the little JBP mame i got in the little pot i won in the virt comp everytime she is outside, she loves it! you cant stop them complelty i know one day she is going to drop it or trip or something along those lines, but it happens! any chance of repairing it? i know it would never be the same but it could be close? maybe?

Cute all round !!! Sorry bout the broken one...
