While there are fewer and fewer bright spots in our flower gardens these days, the delicate-looking purple Fall asters are still going strong.
Hi everyone, no big travel plans for my Thanksgiving, so I just decided I would keep posting. ;^) Don't have a good Thanksgiving image also, so just decided to post this pretty New England Aster.
Hope all my American friends have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I hope everyone enjoys this image! :^)
The scientific name for this species is: Symphyotrichum novae-angliae.

O, speak again, bright angel! for you are
As glorious to this night, that is over my head,
As is a wingéd messenger of heaven
To the white, upturned, wondering eyes
Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him
When he crosses the slow moving clouds
And sails upon the heart of the wind.
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, (* _ *)

Wild Aster in black-and-white. You can see the detailed pollen on the lower petals. Few take the time to appreciate art in nature. This photograph reflects a sample of just how wonderfully simple and beautiful nature can be, even without color. Comments welcome.

Our backyard wildlife, October straggler: Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus) nectaring on Aster flower, Oak Park, Waterloo, ON October 9, 2019
Taking full advantage of a brief bit of sun as we stopped for food right off the New York Turnpike. (Which could be loosely termed "Feasting on Asphalt", except we were not on motorcycles.)
I was surprise to see a large number of butterflies and bees right at the edge of a parking lot. The asters were one of the last flowers in bloom, while I was in NY, and these seemed to be the lunch stop for everything in the area.

Aster is a genus of perennial flowering plantsin the family Asteraceae. Its circumscriptionhas been narrowed, and it now encompasses around 180 species, all but one of which are restricted to Eurasia; many species formerly in Aster are now in other genera of the tribe Astereae. Aster amellus is the type species of the genus and the family Asteraceae.

Thanks everyone for the wishes I've been out all day setting up a new location for a banding station-in a mosquito filled area :0
Fortunately there were lots of these Asters and Goldenrod (and still lots, and lots of Monarchs, not to mention dragonflies!)
so at least it looked pretty while being eaten alive!
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.
The Monte Casino is a popular Aster.
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 Astaea, 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, (*_*)
