The Cape Primrose is lovely and will beautify your table perfectly. The look of a formal garden is stately and elegant and invites you to come into the space and wander at leisure. While I love looking at formal gardens, it brings me no peace, it is too rigid and staid. It brings to mind things that must be done, that must happen with great regularity and so that isn't me lol. Straight lines are not in my wheelhouse, I have trouble drawing one and my handwriting always has an upward slant.
I have ever been a wild child, even into my old age and so a wild garden, even one planned with great care, is one that makes me happy and intrigued. Great rafts of color, texture and scents blending one into another with no clear delineation. Where a volunteer plant pops up out of place, well...that's me, that's my life force. Unless it's a weed, then it is off with it's head.
You say it nicely and I agree.
Part of my nature leans towards discipline, organisation and straight lines and that has worked well for me but I've always had a side of me that revels against that regimented though so I've landed in the middle somewhere and think that's an acceptable compromise.
With gardening it's probably more noticable as my gardens have always had a balance of both but lean towards informality. I've been all around the world and seen some of the most amazing garden spaces from structured (controlled) garden styles like in France to more natural spaces of many of the public gardens in London and other places and just about everything in between and beyond and one thing is common, I like them all. Not weeds though, you called it!
