Marsala plants & flowers / Urban Jungle Bloggers

This blog post is my very first for Urban Jungle Bloggers, which is a fresh initiative resulted from two bloggers' passion for plants. Bloggers interested in indoor plants - around the world - are invited to join in. Every month Igor Josifovic (Happy Interior Blog) and Judith de Graaff (JOELIX.com) select a green topic and invite the bloggers to make their own vision of green living and interiors. Sounds fun?

This month's topic is "Style up your homes with plants and cut flowers". So, I thought to give it a try, as it gives me a chance to play with flowers and plants in a little bit different way as usual. It's very inspirational and refreshing to plan and create something from somebody else's ideas. And this is what I did:

I'm a huge fan of non-green coloured plants f.ex. silver and red, both indoor and outdoor. Colour of the year 2015 -  earthy wine red marsala - is a colour definitely for the autumn season. These in mind, I collected some plants with red colour from my home; peperomia (Peperomia caperata), oxalis (Oxalis triangularis) and wandering jew (Tradescantia zebrina) and bought some perfect marsala coloured chrysanthemums. And to add even more red, I picked some heuchera foliage from my garden.

I selected a lovely white wooden tray where I arranged some bottles and vases, and plonked the chrysanthemum stems and heucheras and their flowers in them. Then I added the plants and some indoor plants' foliage in.

I managed to do a sort of dramatical display, or what do you think? At least it is quite...err...RED! :)

Happy Thursday everyone,
