There is a beauty, grace, and movement in this composition.

search for how this form and color could relate to garden design resulted in a historic garden, the Montisfont Abbey Garden.
The scarf  had been folded in quarters and the creases left  distinct lines. I recalled this photograph found at Great British Gardens. "Mottisfont Abbey Garden A former Augustinian priory beside the River Test with a park and garden. The park has ancient trees and an eighteenth century summer house. The Lime Walk was designed by Geoffrey Jellicoe in 1936." 

Similar, lines, form and color.....



Also, a Photograph I had taken at the Dallas Arboretum of Papyrus Sedge with Sweet potato "Margarita" captured the colors and expressive lines, as did the fan palm.
























I was also drawn to this .gif file of a moving Fibonacci Sequence. It is mesmerizing but I like the distribution of polka-dot/stars and there is a similarity to the Flamenco dancer in design and movement.

It would be fascinating to showcase a garden with a "Fibonacci/Fractal/Stars/ Dancers" theme. 

It could include an evening presentation. Dresses with dancers wearing gowns covered with glow in the dark polka-dots. They could dance with long flag banners (gymnastic ribbons), ala, Calder. 

And….

After watching a group  use drones for night sky art , a lyric presentation with a Flamenco dancer preforming a cosmic dance could carry the theme into the sky.
