Jigsaw Puzzle#11: Botanical

Challenge #134 in the Life in the Natural World series. Hosted by RuthC.

Challenge has finished

In this Jigsaw Puzzle challenge, the subject is anything botanical. It can be trees, shrubs or bushes, plants, leaves, flowers, or lichens and mosses. The entry should be a very detailed and 'busy' scene which would make an ideal jigsaw puzzle. Think 1,000 piece "drive you crazy" picture. Macro and close-ups welcome. Man-made structures should be minimal. Small insects, birds or animals may be present but must not dominate the picture. SIZE: 1,600px MAXIMUM ON LONGER SIDE
