1. This plant is called Ficus Roxburghii. It is around 12 meter tall.
The plant has large leaves and reddish figs in short rope from the branches to the base of the trunk.

In Chinese, the fig is known as
wú huā guǒ (无花果), it means “Fruit without flower. The fig is commonly thought as fruit, but it is actually the flower of the fig tree.




The surface of the figs and leaves are covered with short fur.
Base on my research, if you cut open a fresh fig, the flowers will appear as
fleshy "threads", each bearing a single seed inside.
(i will post it up next time when I captured the photos.)


2. This plant is called Umbelliferae, also known as Pegaga.
I found its tiny leaves look like fan shape.



3. Interesting texture and color.


4.
Interesting color combination.


5. The form of the fruit looks like a bee hive.

  1. Fruit vs Art

    As we explore, the beautiful fruit is nothing more than the RM50 lamp hanging on the wall in our abode. This humdrum jungle can no longer give new and yet fangled things to surprise its visitors. All wrong! The flawless nature has given too much convenience to the modern artists and designers who stole its ideas to make lamps and all other decorative stuff. This substantiates that inspirations come from the natural environment. Ignoring its beauty is amounting to talent-euthanasia slowly killing your creativity. In fact, all famous designers rely on nature to start off.
