I know exactly what you mean, things are flowering that shouldn't be, whilst all around are the remenants of the previous year. We do have a strange climate here...

Illuci from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands

This one is really dynamic, both in composition and in stages of development. As if you arranged it that way deliberately, but I know you didn't. It has something of spears and an explosion in-between them... Very curious!
