Why? Does it feel like rubber? @Shaz51

Yes it is and it grows with air and a little bit of water @tyme

Mine looks different to @SaltwaterSoul

I will take a photo of mine

I have a real liking for hydrophonic plants @Shaz51 @SaltwaterSoul . But I don't have any as I doubt I'd know what to do with it.

@Shaz51 Beautiful, big and bright. Looks healthy! 😊

@tyme

Haha, it's a good question. I think the common name is rubber plant, I believe it's part of the ficus family. I did a quick google, and this is what came up.. 😊

''The rubber plant (Ficus elastica) gets its name from the thick, milky-white sap (latex) it produces, which was historically harvested and prossed to create natural rubber. '' - myplantin.com/blog/rubber-plant


@Shaz51 @DogMan79 @Jynx

Oooh neat, ty for sharing @SaltwaterSoul I did know that rubber was made from plants but had no idea how!

@Shaz51 such a pretty flower

This is garden I helped my partner at the time, build at our dream home. Including the retaining wall out the back and the paving. The only thing we didn't build was the gazebo. I haven't had my own yard/garden in over 7 years. My mum has a garden. I will have to go looking and see if she has any nice flowers in bloom, to show you. I am thinking of getting a potted sunflower, in memory of my dad (his favourite flower), to put just outside the caravan. but I will probably do a bit of research first.

I didn't build the retaining wall out the front, as this was done after my partner's death, but I did plant all the plants that you see.
