Seriously though, I think a lot of those experiences percolated through my brain to form the basis of my current aesthetic sensibilites-though I sure never suspected it at the time.Steve Silkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11531018499519950491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170210501356136695.post-39900188970709737002010-10-25T08:15:59.554-04:002010-10-25T08:15:59.554-04:00Thanks Laurrie--Yeah, when you have that plant col...Thanks Laurrie--Yeah, when you have that plant collector's chaaos a few repeating elements can save the day. Plants in pots is a great way to learn about repetition-just plant up a few similar pots and try placing them in different spots.

Looked like a totally different scene, garden, set of plants, but in fact was just taken from a different angle.<br />Your observation of repetition, constraint, allowing freedom.....Something there, some secret of the universe. ....(-: Probably that insight you got in Paris, 197__ whatever year that was!<br />Maria Montessori said that a child becomes free through ever widening constraints. If there are no constraints when he/she is young, than an insecurity ensues. <br />Again, I don't know how these web things work. I thought I was responding to you through my facebook, but somehow, I am in your blog....<br />Hope you get this message!<br />Love,<br />YvonneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06463395676331757479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170210501356136695.post-43337919068968759912010-10-18T09:19:06.220-04:002010-10-18T09:19:06.220-04:00Ah, repetition... my biggest challenge for some re...Ah, repetition... my biggest challenge for some reason. My gardens have no real design plan, so repeating elements would help, but I haven't gotten the rhythm of that yet (I don't think 5 spruces lined up on a berm counts). It helps to see photo examples like you post... thanks!Laurriehttp://laurries.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
