    Urbanjunglebloggers – Make Your Plant Pop!

    June 25, 2015

    Today features another Urban Jungle Bloggers edition, the last one before the summer break.

    Urban Jungle Bloggers is a monthly series, devised by Igor and Judith. The idea is to get some green into our homes, especially for us urban folks! Every month they invite bloggers to share ideas for creating an urban jungle through styling challenges, DIYs, green tips and tricks. Every month there is a different theme on the topic. You can follow and get more urban jungle bloggers inspiration on their Pinterest boards and Facebook page.

    June’s theme is: ‘plant color pop’….. make your plant pop!

    Back to basics. I’ve used Magda, the Hydrangea I bought in February 2014 (for my 1st Urban Jungle Bloggers post). She lasted for a long time.

    Then in October 2014 she started growing new flowers again (see here below).

    This is a piece of art/collage I made a few years ago. I had it flat printed on a jet printer at an approx. size of 2M x 1.5M. I thought it would be fun to take the popping against colour a step further so hung it up on my roof terrace. This is only a section of it. Staying with the flowers/plant theme.

    This gives you a better idea of size!

    As always, it was great fun putting this post together. Colour popping is right up my street:-) I look forward to checking out some of the other entries in this lovely community. There’s a well deserved summer break for Igor and Judith and the Urban Jungle Bloggers crew is back in September, one of my favourite month.
