Lantana hyperverticalis
The other day when I was checking the fence, a unfamiliar red flower caught my eye at the edge of the woods. When I went to investigate I found it wasn't an unfamiliar species, just an unfamiliar morphological form of it. It was Lantana camara, but on a single stalk nearly 2 meters tall with a single flower cluster. I suppose plants do what they must to reach sunlight. It was unexpected.
