Cassius Blue (leptotes cassius) on Asteraceae- African Bush-Daisy (Gamolepis chrysanthemoides), 1/1/2022, Skidaway Island, Savannah, Ga. The butterflies were photographed by Fitz O. Clarke Jr. and Richard Wolfert.
There were three adults of this species flying about. I believe there was one female and two males. I did not get a clear dorsal view to make a positive sex identification; however, multiple images of the nectaring butterfly reveal slight viewings of the inner upper margins. A brownish tinged red is quite noticeable to believe it is a female.
It was 76 degrees and slightly overcast. The location was the residence of Penny Leblanc, 1 Windlass Ct, Skidaway Island, Savannah, Ga. Skidaway Island is an inner barrier island. This location is app 600 yards south of the Wilmington River.
This is the latest date I have observed this species, here on Skidaway Island, Savannah, Ga.

Oh my, I can barely pronounce the scientific name of the flower,
but I swear, if I were a painter, then I would paint this beautiful flower exactly as the Helios lens painted here ;-)
xoxo - dear Flickr friends and I wish you all a good start into the weekend !!

Une asteracée aux fleurs toutes ligulées certes, mais qui ne fait pas de pappus, c'est assez rare..
(pappus :une petite touffe ou un faisceau de poils ou de soies qui équipent certains akènes (graines) afin de permettre une dispersion optimale par le vent: le petit parachute du pissenlit par exemple, est un pappus)
Plante jeune consommée en salade. Plante amère et rafraîchissante, utilisée pour guérir les gerçures.

Chrysanthemums (/krɪˈsænθəməm/), sometimes called mums or chrysanths, are flowering plants of the genus Chrysanthemum in the family Asteraceae. They are native to Asia and northeastern Europe. Most species originate from East Asia and the center of diversity is in China. Countless horticultural varieties and cultivars exist.
The name "chrysanthemum" is derived from the Ancient Greek: χρυσός chrysos (gold) and Ancient Greek: ἄνθεμον anthemon (flower).
Chrysanthemums were first cultivated in China as a flowering herb as far back as the 15th century BC. Over 500 cultivars had been recorded by 1630. By the year 2014 it was estimated that there are now over 20,000 cultivars in the world and about 7,000 cultivars in China. The plant is renowned as one of the Four Gentlemen in Chinese and East Asian art. The plant is particularly significant during the Double Ninth Festival.
Chrysanthemum cultivation began in Japan during the Nara and Heian periods (early 8th to late 12th centuries), and gained popularity in the Edo period (early 17th to late 19th century). Many flower shapes, colours, and varieties were created. The way the flowers were grown and shaped also developed, and chrysanthemum culture flourished. The Imperial Seal of Japan is a chrysanthemum and the institution of the monarchy is also called the Chrysanthemum Throne. A number of festivals and shows take place throughout Japan in autumn when the flowers bloom. Chrysanthemum Day (菊の節句 Kiku no Sekku) is one of the five ancient sacred festivals. It is celebrated on the 9th day of the 9th month. It was started in 910, when the imperial court held its first chrysanthemum show.

Aster amellus, the European Michaelmas-daisy, is a perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Aster, belonging to the Asteraceae family.
This plant is present on the European mountains from the Pyrenees and the Alps to the Carpathians. Outside Europe it is located in western Asia (Turkey), the Caucasus, Siberia and Central Asia (Kazakhstan).
The typical habitat is rocky limy areas, the edges of the bushes and copses, but also the sub-alpine meadows, marshy places and lake sides. It prefers calcareous and slightly dry substrate, at an altitude of 0–800 metres above sea level.
Aster amellus reaches on average a height of 20–50 centimetres. The stem is erect and branched, the leaves are dark green. The basal leaves are obovate and petiolated, the cauline ones are alternate and sessile, increasingly narrower and lanceolate. The flowers are lilac. The flowering period extends from July through October (from Wikipedia).
