While helping my husband mow an elderly lady's yard this evening, I noticed this unusual canna stalk amongst the greenery. I'm still working on the rule of thirds as I tend to center things.

*After posting this, I realized it's not a canna but rather a gladiolus, which explains why there was only the one flower stalk. Many of the flower species in this yard were originally grown by the owner's mother.
