nature's aster garden

These asters are native at your part of the world? What a pretty blue. :)

Yes, Karen. they grow everywhere! The novae angliae are deep blue/purple, the ciliolate are soft mauve, and the tall ones are white (no pic, because they've gone over..just fluffy seed left.) with the solidago for accent they create their own tapestry. My faves, mostly because they perform and require next to no work from me. Keeping the field mowed until late July means that they won't grow tall and floppy.

I think the ciliolate would be my favourites. The colour is so pretty!

Pretty and made of cast iron, I think! ;-)
