ASTER :
Aster (du grec ancien : ἀστήρ / astḗr, « étoile », par analogie avec la forme de l'inflorescence) est un genre de plantes dicotylédones de la famille des Asteraceae (anciennement dénommées composées), très important par le nombre d'espèces (environ 600) et de variétés. Il s'agit de plantes vivaces à floraison automnale. En général, les asters sont rustiques et faciles à cultiver.
Asters are daisy-like perennials with starry-shaped flower heads that range in color from white to blue to purple.
Merveille is French for "marvel, wonder".
Which I feel this lovely Aster is?
If your birthday is in September, let the Aster bring you good luck.
With the vast array of colours and sizes that Asters, also known as starworts, come in (over 600 species).
Not only are they lovely, these flowers will not fade as quickly as other flowers in arrangements.
This flower is often used to symbolise afterthought or true love.
A love of variety is associated with this flower as well.
In China, the aster signifies fidelity.
The name "aster" has Latin origins meaning "star".
Many stories tell the origins of the Aster, but the most popular ancient myth explains how asters were created from stardust as Virgo, also known as Astraea, the goddess of innocence cries over sin on earth.
Her tears fell as stardust, covering the earth with asters.
This myth gives light to the Aster's star-like beauty and shape.
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)

We still have Summer here but Autumn is calling for the Asters to bloom. took this Yesterday the first to bloom.
said Nietzsche...
meaning it 's the need to improve on things that makes us creative
and Vincent Van Gogh he said:
"When I have a terrible need of — shall I say the word — religion. Then I go out and paint the stars."
and "The sight of the stars makes me dream"
religere (latin) means: to tie together, to connect
so both are speaking of trying to make more sense out of things, trying to feel better, the need for more order and harmony in fact!
and I say only being in a happy or at least a positive mood - say believing in it - is going to create the greatest art!
Vincent Van Gogh said also this:
"The more I think it over, the more I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people."
so my conclusion is: to love just goes hand in hand with being creative!
tonight also I heard on television yet another artist say it was an escape for him, a way to make harsh reality less hard to deal with, helping him to stay balanced... also true...

I cut these 2 for the kitchen bay window, have few miniature antique vases on display and often use them for flowers,
I had 3 of my red Asters pull out by the lawn cutting crew last Month, I caught them in time and planted them back in,
Something strange happened one of those Asters has 2 white Daisies blooming, never seen that before,
I know they were all red. very odd!
SUNBRIGHT... ASTER

most Asters are still widely referred to as "asters", or "Michaelmas daisies", because of their typical blooming period.
Asters are often the grand finale to the perennial garden, displaying vibrant fall colours in shades of pink, yellow, red, purple, blue, and white.
They’re also one of the last great feeding opportunities for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
For gardeners, it’s a two-for-one deal: beautiful blooms and a flurry of attractive wildlife.
With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)
