Not certain of the particular Aster species but it’s one of the small wild ones. These seed heads are a fraction of the size of the Ligularia illustrated here yesterday.
A large and sprawling pond-side plant with deep red leaves, yellow flowers and now these large pom-pom seed heads to be left standing as bird food in the winter.
This rowan tree has been hanging on to its leaves for a long time this fall. Perfect light this morning.

There is a larch tree in a corner of the garden that comes into its own for a few days once temperatures start to fall into the negative range. A bit ho-hum for the other 51 weeks of the year but a real stand oout at the moment.
