I passed this flower (or these flowers) on the way to dinner at the Vets Hall yesterday. It’s hard to tell if it or they belong to the hedge or to a plant growing through the hedge. It’s a peculiar bloom that I will now call a cluster flower. Daisies send out a stem with a single flower, and we all recognize daisies. This also sends out a stem, but with a cluster of competing flowers. They seem to go this way and that, forming a red blob here and there along the bush. The individual flowers seem interesting, but the cluster seems confused, overlapping, wasteful. Still, it captures the attention. It makes one wonder, but what one wonders seems almost as peculiar. With so few flowers this time of year, it seems like these should be spread out a bit, a tiny one here and there, instead of this. But this is their answer to that.
