This month's Urban Jungle Bloggers challenge is all about getting up close and showcasing those lovely little plant details that we'd normally miss - the patterns and textures, the colour variations, the tiny hairs on the leaves... I've chosen to feature my favourite new discovery - snake's head fritillary. I'd never heard of this graceful little plant before a recent trip to the local garden . . .

Urban Jungle Bloggers | Jungle animals
First of all, I’d like to apologise for the lack of plant-related content in this latest Urban Jungle Bloggers post!

Still, I couldn't resist sharing a few photos of the flowers on their own, as . . .
Urban Jungle Bloggers | Plants & Art
Urban Jungle Bloggers is back from its summer break and this month’s theme, ‘plants and art’, is a particularly interesting one. The challenge set by hosts Igor (of Happy Interior Blog) and Judith (of JOELIX.com) was to show beautiful combinations of paintings, sculptures, prints and greenery, but I couldn’t resist interpreting it in a slightly different way and using my favourite plants to create . . .
