Spot the noisy customer chatting away in the Perennial Garden. You won’t win a prize, sadly, but you’ll at least know who’s chirping tiny harrumphs at your intrusion when you visit.

I’ve kept up with this dahlia over the last while. It stands by its lonesome in the Perennial Garden, presiding like a lighthouse beacon over the flowers and foliage growing underneath. I’m a fan of its flamboyance.
