Can haphazard be a concept?

In context: the poppy among its
neighboring flowers.


The concept of a haphazard garden has become more intriguing as more odd flowers show up in the patch where I threw the seeds.  Had a wild idea to buy several bags of them next year, throw them into the garden and call it a wash.  That probably won't happen but it is a thought.  At any rate, this tall poppy showed up today and some other flowers are growing in there.

The case of the red peas
Then, too, there are the surprise peas.  Those strange red flowers among the other pea vines are also peas.  There are pods on the plants.  A friend who knows about these things suggested the original seeds I used had been manipulated and when that happens sometimes there are throwbacks to the original variety and that is probably what the red ones are.  There are more of them now and another patch elsewhere in the garden.  Like I said, haphazard.
