Re: Ficus Pressie
Thanks Ant.
Yes Jamie - accidents! Have a guess how many "accidents" my 4 yr old has had! ......and yes, I am keeping count (might come in handy when he gets older!)

Re: Ficus Pressie
Great photos' Leigh
Shame about the pot......however, "one mans' disaster is another mans' bread" quote PK 2010.
The new pot...hmmm, this takes us back to Jamie's post about 'red and green should not be seen'.
Here we have (ice)blue and green and I don't know that it works. I'd like to see a 'hot' pot to go with the vibrant green of the fig......red maybe?????
Cheers, Pat

Re: Ficus Pressie
LOL Ben - those black pines are fine - they all survived that torture!
I have a red pot pat - would be about the right size! Unfortunately, I have a little olive in it. I wonder if you have anything sitting around that you might suggest would look good?
