I have always been in awe of this Ficus religiosa species. I mean, this is supposedly the tree under which Buddha attained enlightenment!I heard from a colleague who visited India last year that the Ficus trees there were just humongous and majestic! He mentioned the huge tree trunks and heights of these trees that he observed before scaling Mt Everest. It would be such an experience to see this tree in its native habitat.
Anyway, this particular tree on the hill slope at HortPark is seen flushing here with its beautiful new pinkish leaves, as captured by these photos on 8 Feb 10.
