Nature always wins 'Best in Show'

I think the most successful planting designs are the ones that emulate nature, planting combinations that occur serendipitously more often then not, seem to work. Naturalistic planting is beneficial to wildlife, generally less maintenance (depending on how natural you want to take it) and to the human eye, looks more aesthetically pleasing. Here's a few 'Happy Accidents' I have stumbled upon recently...
A rogue Digitalis purpurea 'Alba', (self-seeded), Pulmonaria sp. with Persicaria bistorta Superbra sticking their heads up (I've no idea how they got there) and an organic meadow that has been to self-seed and is cut once a year. Nature at the very least, deserves the People's vote!
