At the church garden all the annuals are removed in latter October. Dusty miller will come back, but it returns lanky and blooms yellow. But once in awhile there are surprises in the garden and it is often those which delight the most.
This tall snapdragon, hiding in the monstrous Asiatic lily patch has returned to bloom--something of an oddball. This year, short snaps have been used and so it will be the only tall snap in the garden. The placement and the color combo offends me a little, but as I took this photo at 9:00 PM, around the time of the summer solstice, with the sun glowing low in the west, it also pleases me.
