Douglas Horton (1891- 1968) was an American Protestant clergyman and academic leader who was noted for his work in ecumenical relations. He said "The art of simplicity is a puzzle of complexity". Although referring to church matters, this quote also applies to seemingly simple flowers. There are many flower blooms that look like simple designs to most people until one looks at that them closely.
Examples of "simple" flower designs include petunias and geraniums.
These petunia blooms on the right look simple until you closely examine them.
Similarly, these geranium blooms below look simple. But, when you look at the petals of these two flowers, they look like fingerprints.
So true. When we look closely at our world, we find beauty!
