This week’s challenge, to capture something ornate, breathtakingly extravagant, threw me a little. I originally thought I could go for some of the beautiful pieces from churches and cathedrals, or the historic places I’ve been to recently.
But then I thought, real complexity is in nature. Intricate shapes and complex patterns are everywhere. God’s palate is much more complex and rich than any man-made structure. So here’s one beauty — a favorite because there are so many patterns everywhere.
As if the plant wasn’t enough, the combination of stone steps, the gridded railing and that gorgeous pot create a lovely ornate scene.
Hello, Maria!I couldn’t agree more with your interpretation of Ornate!Yes, there are so many patterns in nature!:)
Thanks! I also like the other man-made patterns 🙂
It’s like a recall for me… I have a plant like this in NZ but all my plants were given away when we left last July. Your post takes me back to good old memories.
What is the name?
