White crocus - triangular compositional lines

Another composition including triangles.  The clump of white flowers forms a triangle, of sorts. There is a diagonal line running across the image (where the dead leaves and white flowers meet). The green stems at 45 degrees form lines parallel to this line. There are also some triangular shapes among the dead leaves and some of the spaces between the petals form triangles, too.

Of course, at the time of taking the photo I was not thinking of any of this! I just liked the contrast of the dry leaves and white flowers and the way the flowers were leaning over. Later, when I looked at the image again, I saw the triangles, which I note are becoming a bit of a theme.
