I found a plant growing on the outside wall of our building, below the level of our balcony garden of potted plants. I suppose the maintenance people will remove it when they decide it is the right time to do it. I obtained this picture because there are two types of leaves.
The black arrow points at a leaf of a Pipal tree. The red arrows point at what appear to be leaves of a Banyan tree. Both of them have sprung up from one spot where the drainage pipe is leaking on the outside wall of our building. There is actually no major leak, but some moisture does seep out, which is sufficient to nurture these plants. I could not (and would not) climb down to see if they were two separate plants or a single plant. I know it is impossible for them to belong to a single plant unless one was grafted on the other. This is not a possibility because they have grown on their own, without any human intervention or interference. It is still curious that they should grow at one spot, their seeds carried there by wind.
