Family : Moraceae
Central Queensland to Southern NSW.
Out in the open Ficus macrophylla has a relatively compact rounded crown but in rainforest situation it can reach an enormous size,up to 50m high and a stem diameter of up to 240cm. While it can be grown directly in the ground it often starts its life high up in the canopy gradually enmeshing the host as its roots follow the host tree to the ground.
It has glossy lustrous leaves and develops massive flanged and irregularly wide buttresses to support its huge volume in shallow, sometimes waterlogged, soils.
The fruit varies with maturity from green through orange to purple when ripe and is edible but quite dry to taste.The fruit can appear at any time but generally Feb-May.

Oppenheim, an einer ehemals wichtigen Handelsstrasse zwischen Frankreich und Deutschland gelegen, wurde häufig überfallen und geplündert und hatte immer wieder andere Herren, bis die Stadt 1945 zu Rheinland-Pfalz kam. Die heutige Bausubstanz stammt komplett aus dem 18. Jh., da 1689 die Burg Landskrone und die Stadt durch die Franzosen total zerstört wurde. Oppenheim ist durch seine Weine bekannt und insbesondere den Oppenheimer Krötenbrunnen.

MONET REFUSES THE OPERATION
- poem by Lisel Mueller
Doctor, you say there are no halos
around the streetlights of Paris
and what I see is an aberration
caused by old age, an affliction.
I tell you it has taken me all my life
to arrive at the vision of gas lamps as angels,
to soften and blur and finally banish
the edges you regret I don’t see,
to learn that the line I called the horizon
does not exist and sky and water,
so long apart, are the same state of being.
Fifty-four years before I could see
Rouen cathedral is built
of parallel shafts of sun,
and now you want to restore
my youthful errors: fixed
notions of top and bottom,
the illusion of three-dimensional space,
wisteria separate
from the bridge it covers.
What can I say to convince you
the Houses of Parliament dissolve
night after night to become
the fluid dream of the Thames?
I will not return to a universe
of objects that don't know each other,
as if islands were not the lost children
of one great continent. The world
is in flux and light becomes what it touches,
becomes water, lilies on water,
above and below water,
becomes lilac and mauve and yellow
and white and cerulean lamps,
small fists passing sunlight
so quickly to one another
that it would take long streaming hair
inside my brush to catch it.
To paint the speed of light!
Our weighted shapes, these verticals,
burn to mix with air
and change our bones, skin and clothes
to gases. Doctor,
if only you could see
how heaven pulls earth into its arms
and how infinitely the heart expands
to claim this world, blue vapor without end.

Pattern: Parasols, (Snail Trail)
Fabric: Breakfast At Tiffany's by Fig Tree Quilts for Moda
Size: Currently 46x46 but I need to add borders.
Supposedly in 1876, a visiting seaman gave a seedling of this tree to a girl in Santa Barbara. A year later, he friend replanted it in it's current location - the corner of Chapala and Montecito.
It is now one of the largest of its species (Ficus macrophyllia) in the United States. It is a historic landmark and is on the California Register of Big Trees. It averages 80' in height, 176' in average crown spread and over 40' in diameter.
It is an awesome sight!
