Bottle garden

Walking through the woods, the floor is an almost uniform brown colour, deeply decked in last seasons old clothes.  Lost in thought my eye is suddenly caught by a flash of shiny green which almost shouts at you from amongst the subdued hues. Brushing away the leafs reveals an ad hoc bottle garden, where a plant has taken advantage of the micro climate created by someones thoughtless detritus. Nature's great, and so ingenious, taking advantage of any and all niche opportunities. I cleared back the leafs and cleaned, as well I could, the bottle and will visit again to see how this tiny world is doing.
