PLANTLIFE, BUT NOT AS WE KNOW IT

We went to Wisley today.  As I posted quite a few pics of Wisley in autumn recently, I decided not to take another load of plants in seed, etc, but to try to concentrate on the shapes of the plants and their effects.  I have always been fascinated by the geometry of plants and the contrasts of their colours and pattern.  Anyway, before I become too lyrical, here are a few pics I took today with their main features accentuated.
