An Ostentation of Asters

Posted on 11/03/2019 by chick
This is one of the types of asters that grows along the edges of my yard and in the woods nearby. This particular plant was chosen to act as an example of the type. Not by me, but by the sun, a ray of which was bursting through the darkness of the woods to land on these flowers. To me, it was a sign, and I followed the sign. I believe this type of aster is what would be called a “white wood aster,” but that’s the extent of naming that I’m going to do for this post. There are too many kinds of asters for me to try to distinguish between them. (Most of the names are awfully boring anyway, with descriptors such as “stiff,” “panicled,” “big-leaved,” etc.)
This type of aster also grows in my yard. It’s different from the other, but equally aster-y.
I found these asters growing in the woods near the library. They were blue but different from the blue asters in my post from the other day.
Ooh. A fuzzy aster. I found this one on a meadow path.
OMG, it’s an aster bush!
Aster from Massachusetts
Blue asters are the most gorgeous, but these white ones almost give them a run for their money, don’t they?
But why limit ourselves to white and blue. Let’s try a little pink/purple.
And why limit ourselves to just a little color when we can have so much more? Wow!
