I took that photograph this past week.

The reason this flowering plant is in a jar of water is because the State / Town cut it down. It was growing on the edge of the road, not impeding the line of sight, and I had been mowing around it. The State / Town did NOT cut the rest of the edge along the road, which DID need trimming by them. But hey, it could be worse: they could have hit my mailbox like they did in the past.
