November Sunflower

Following the pattern already established with the climate change we are experiencing, this morning, I saw a sunflower in full bloom.The plant was growing near the middle of a horse pasture (the horses having been withdrawn from the field about a month ago). It has grown to a height of approximately one metre. I can only presume that the seed was dropped by a bird for it to be growing in this location, that it should be flowering at this time of year is verging upon the bizarre.
