Asters

 The Asters are here, in all their purple glory! I think this must be one of the most pretty fall flowers that is kind of ignored.





The bees sure don't ignore them though.



Starry blooms in twilight’s glow,

Purple whispers soft and low.

Last to bloom, yet first to charm—

 Asters wrap the fall in calm.

A sweet poem. The asters are very pretty. These in the pictures are very showy. I didn't realize they grew that tall.

They are so pretty! I've always admired them in the Fall. We just bought a few of them and planted them in a new flower bed.

Ginny, I am so happy your shared the aster. I have this exact aster in our front garden. I agree, they seem to get ignored. They are a haven for the bees.

Those asters are so nice. Wow. I don’t see them growing around here - I wonder why? Maybe doesn’t grow well in our zone. They sure are pretty though.
