MAY'S Monthly Challenge Theme is...


The May Monthly Challenge theme is...

“Flora and Fauna”


Flora is plant life that is indigenous to a particular region while fauna is animal life that is indigenous to a particular region. Submit an entry that depicts flowers, plants, and or animals that can be found where you live. Tag your listing with: teamefaflora.





I recently found this picture on the Fauna and Flora International website,http://www.fauna-flora.org/about/ , and wanted to share it with the team as I have never seen frogs that look like this. It is a great example of all the biodiversity that exists here on Earth.


Here is another example…





This elusive pygmy hippo does not live in my back yard but he sure is cute! (He is an endangered animal who lives in West Africa.)


We’d love to see what plants and animals are native to your region so submit your entry now! Be sure to tag your listing with: teamefaflora.
