This obs not for the plant but whatever it's infected with. The weird liquid on it is from it just having been sprayed with insecticidal soap

Very certain the plant itself is Peperomia obtusifolia, for the record

On Ficus aurea

Walking the old southern terminus of the Florida Trail for a bit. Water levels have dropped quickly over the last couple weeks and there were several dried up puddles with dead fish and shrimp in them.
