Dinner Plate Fig
Ficus dammaropsis
(FY-kus)
Synonyms: Highland Breadfruit
The foliage on this New Guinea native is spectacular and this is just a small shot of one leaf. The leaves can get up to 3 feet long and 2 feet wide. This Fig is considered rare in Southern California. It was growing at Quail Botanical Garden in Encinitas, California.
The next picture is an Orchid from Balboa Park. I am not sure of the name but I thought the color was unusual. We have made it to Amarillo, Texas and are off to Little Rock today. We have been using some back roads like CA-79 to get over to Palm Springs the back way. It was quite a nice ride through Temecula and Palm Desert. We also rode on Route 66 in Gallup, New Mexico.
