Pleasing chaos

These wild "Star of Bethlehem" flowers grow any which way and place in the spring. . .I have them popping up throughout various flower beds and even the lawn. I like the way these wild flowers brought some pleasing harmony to the mixture of plants in this small view of one of my flower beds.

Very aptly titled, Carolyn. You have restored some order to the chaos. :smile:
It's beautiful and well composed.

The scattering of flowers really pulls this view together. What a wonderfully gentle and warm look into your garden. Those two purple blooms add just a touch of spice.

And pleasing it is! The 'randomness' of the comp, with no real focal point is a bit chaotic..
But in a very good way :smile:
Great post Carolyn! :toast:

Perfect! You've included just the ideal amount of chaos to pleasingly portray the setting. The large white leaves add a lot of interest to the composition. Well done!

Interesting Carolyn. I like the little floating stars in the BG of greens. They kind of lead you into the frame in a very inviting way. Nice.
