Out of season !

Found this sprouting out of the declining foliage of the buddleia. It looks like family of the sunflowers, and according to 'Picture this' it is a Jerusalem artichoke or a Helianthus tuberosus. I have no idea if it will survive before it will actually bloom (it has at least 5 more buds) but it must be some kind of record that it's blooming over here in the second week of November !
For Wild Wednesday with thanks as every Wednesday to Cailleach.

Tomorrow's optional Abstract Thursday theme is 'shape', if you are looking for some inspiration have a Google of 'abstract photography shape' and see what comes up in the images :-) The tag will be AT385

Thanks very much for the kind comments and stars for yesterday's portable light macro :-)
