Ooh that’s a gorgeous coloured aster, Hywel!!!! I am loving this one! Looks lovely with the mustard yellow centre too.

Yes it's one of those that kills bees :( I didn't notice it when I took the photo.

A great close up photo. I have those little greeny yellow spiders in my garden, I had no idea they killed bees. Are you sure?

Yes they kill bees. They're called crab spiders and they suck the inside out of the bees. I often find an 'empty' dead bee on my flowers - it's sad :(

That is sad…I know which ones you mean, I haven’t seen one recently - fingers crossed. Little monsters!

I hope they are not in your garden now Kate, they're horrible things.

Heh Hywel, beautiful flower. Nice name too, sounds like an Italian sparkling wine …. (best served chilled) <];-)
