    At this distance it could be several different things. Can you take a close-up?

    Ficus lyrata http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/55346/ it might actually be the cultivar 'Compacta'.

    another ditto to F. lyrata, but I think its the normal form. FWIW, we call 'Compacta' 'Little Fiddle'.

    Cool. The labels always came with 'Compacta' but I prefer 'Little Fiddle' better. It does kinda look like a lush regular form. Hard to tell scale in that pic.
