As I noticed the other day when discussing the image of the fence with the plants growing through, it is often the intrusions and mistakes that make life interesting. Here, we have catmint poking its lavender blossoms up among the leaves of a Harvest Festival Red St. John's Wort. Although the blooms clearly have nothing to do with the leaves around them, there is a naturalness to the grouping.
The image below is a reverse of the one above. Here the St. John's Wort is the interloper in a bed of Catmint.
It so happened that I came upon this specimen of Hen and Chicks just as the sunlight was shining through an opening in the tree canopy on the plant as a spotlight. It is almost as if nature was telling me that I should make this photo.
Today we end with the contrast of purple and white, of bloomed and not yet open. There are lots of kinds of contrast in life. With a little thought, I'm sure that you find that flowers are a metaphor for much in the world we have to deal with. Perhaps this contributes to their popularity.
