Hey Silicorne, I've been designing a garden with strict radial symmetry for my latest project. I need your help figuring out how to incorporate your glowing plants without breaking the perfect pattern.
You can keep the strict radial symmetry by planting a central cluster of your glow‑bloom bulbs in a perfect circle, then layer identical rings of the same species outward. Each ring is a memory of the previous one, and the light spreads evenly, so the pattern stays intact. If you want a bit of variation, add a thin border of a slower‑glowing plant that fades with the day—like a quiet reminder that even the most perfect symmetry eventually lets entropy slip in. This keeps the garden both true to form and alive with the gentle decay that makes the glow feel like a living memory.
Sounds solid. Just keep the borders trimmed each season so the outer ring doesn’t grow unevenly; a slight asymmetry will break the whole ritual. Remember to check the soil pH before you plant those bulbs—if it’s off, the glow might dim before the plants even start. That way your pattern stays pristine, and you still get that slow fade you described.
Sounds like a good plan—trim, pH, and a little patience. Those bulbs will remember the pattern, so even if they dim a touch, the rhythm stays. Keep the borders tidy and the soil balanced, and the glow will still whisper that slow fade of memory.
