Crooked-Stemmed Aster

Asters can be notoriously hard to identify so I finally did something smart (rare!) and took a picture of the leaves and stem with my phone so I had a better chance of identifying it when I got home. Worked much better than relying on my so-called "memory"! Photographed after a rainy October night in Beaver Creek Valley State Park near Caledonia, Minnesota.
