Asteraceae

It’s remarkable how many of the wild Asters there are in this part of the world and we are encouraging them in our garden.  This is a “New England Aster” (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae) which we culled from the wild as it was growing on a roadside verge that was due to be mown. It is now the founding father of a colony we hope to encourage on our small nature sanctuary.
