This fig tree grows in the forests of tropical, central Africa, usually at lower altitudes next to streams or rivers, sometimes in rocky places, up to an altitude of 1800m. Westernmost it grows on the coasts of the Atlantic in Liberia, easternmost it reaches the Indian Ocean where Kenya and Tanzania meet.
From west to east, and north to south, it occurs in: Liberia, possibly parts of southeastern Guinea, southern Ivory Coast, S Ghana, S Togo, S Benin, S Nigeria, most of Cameroon except the northern panhandle, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Congo, possibly southernmost Chad, all of the CAR except the utmost NE, the entire DRC, the northern ¼ of Angola, possibly southernmost Sudan (Al Istiwa'iyah), Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, SW Kenya, all except a bit of SE Tanzania, N Zambia (northern North Western, Copperbelt, Luapula, Northern) and northernmost Malawi. In 2007 there was a new report of an isolated population of this subspecies from the Mount Namuli inselberg in the Zambezia Province in central Mozambique.
Origin: Cutting from a plant in the hallway of the Larenstein Agricultural College in Deventer.

It's leaves grow in whorls. The plant in the photo had not grown a single leaf in 1.5 years. It spent this summer outside, where the apical (7 leaves) and lateral buds (3 to 5 leaves) finally opened. It hasn't done anything since.

I have seen trees bear fruit now and then, even in office settings.

Hay amaneceres irrepetibles.
Puestas de sol que sólo pueden verse en este continente.
Cielos que ningún pintor puede igualar.
Pero lo que siempre llevaré conmigo cuando me vaya,
son esas miradas...

Inside our Camp beside the lake

Two months ago welcomed Burgers Zoo (Arnhem, the Netherlands) a brand spanking new baby Western Lowland Gorilla.
Born on the night August 24th to three-time mom N’Gayla, the newborn appears to be doing well. The baby is a girl named: N'Washi.

De Arnhemse dierentuin Burgers' Zoo heeft er een kleine westelijke laaglandgorilla bij.
De geboorte van de baby in de nacht van maandag 24 op dinsdag 25 augustus was een soort cadeautje. Verzorgers kwamen 's morgens in het apenverblijf en zagen moeder N'Gayla opeens met haar jong in haar armen.
Het dierenpark wist wel dat de 16-jarige N’Gayla drachtig was, maar dacht dat het jong ergens in september of oktober ter wereld zou komen.
Voor moeder N'Gayla is het de derde nakomeling. N’Gayla mocht twee dagen na de geboorte met haar enkele decimeters grote gorillababy naar het buitenverblijf. Vader, zilverrug Bouwi, mocht ook mee, maar bleef op eerbiedige afstand van moeder en kind.
Het babyaapje, een meisje met de naam N'Washi, is helemaal gezond.
"Het drinkt goed, slaapt goed en is ook vaak wakker. Net als een gewone baby".

Para mucha gente en todo el mundo, el domingo es el único día de la semana para descansar, para hacer cosas distintas...En algunos lugares, además, es el día de la semana en el que todo es diferente y mejor: para estos niños de Malabo, la capital de Guinea Ecuatorial, domingo significa estar aún más guapos, aseados y vestidos con la ropa de los domingos. En la mayoría de sus casas, no hay agua corriente ni luz eléctrica.
Y aún así...nunca les falta una sonrisa en la cara.
Menos mal que existe el domingo...si no, habría que inventarlo.
