Fall Flowers

Meet Aster novae-angliae - commonly known at the New England Aster.



This native plant grows all-over around here in sun, shade and moist spots.  A late bloomer it really shows-off when autumn rolls-around.  The coloring can range from white to blue although ours generally are pink and variations of blue.  It's a terrific nectar plan and I've been busy photographing many of the bees and butterflies paying it a visit.  The monarch butterfly likes it in particular.
