Another mystery. This stuff has a a tall and rangy habit, with sparce but very in-your-face flowers....
Asiatic lily.
I *think* (remembering from last year) this is going to be a hibiscus. Love the texture and shape of the leaves!
I think this is a gerbera daisy.
Love the celebration in the center, and of course we love the orange.
Wonder if it is a cousin to a dandelion?
It isn't possible to have too many peonies, I am sure of it.

You have an unerring sense of composition!
Oh, the pink flower is rose campion...

Thank you, ma'am! :-)
As my day job is pretty much totally left-brained, I try very hard to let my right brain make all the decisions about "what looks right." I try to not think, not analyze......
Just "Hmm. What if I crop off this? What if I clone over that? Tilt? Crop more?" etc, and just go by what my right brain wants............
And I do think that practice helps.
Thanks for the data about the rose campion!
I think the 'decision making' part is what I like most about making art. It is all up to my individual judgement.
Design sense is a talent, and you got you sum-a-dat...
[blush] :-)
I often think, when I see people teaching color theory and basic composition and so on .... can people really learn this?
I dunno.
It's clear to me that some people just "get it" and some ... don't.
I hope that people who want to learn it can.....
It always makes me think of being in the quilt-fabric store, and listening to people ask the staff "which one of these pinks matches this other pink?"
Sometimes I can't help myself, and I suggest they get a quarter yard of all four of the possibilites, and use all of them!
"Just think how rich scrap quilts are, with a variety of reds, blues, pinks, whatever!"
They respond "yes" to me, turn back to the staffer, and repeat their question about the matching pinks....
Ah well.
I agree with you, I love the decisions. I work in a very collagey way -- I put the thing next to the other thing, and decide. Of course I can also get too tied down by trying to find The Best thing, and then have to remind myself that there are myriad possibilities that are all good, and that finishing something is the goal, not dithering forever about The Best...........
Better to make more work than to dither infinitely on one thing.
