New England Aster / Raublattaster (Aster novae-angliae)
in our garden - Frankfurt-Nordend
From deep down in my archives, taken 2010 with my best full-frame camera ever ;-))
Asters light up an autumn garden, at least until the frost and freezing temperatures say otherwise.
Amid the gardens at the Toledo Zoo and Aquarium, Toledo, Ohio.
My garden is moving into its late summer phase . These asters are already in flower and the Rubekias and Japanese Anemones are almost out how quickly the garden seasons move on

When I spotted this, I imagined it could be a special 'ice-frog', who was being fed by a secret food-line……..but of course it isn't that at all ;-))
Marian Jenkins told me in a respons on a previous photo that this phenomenon is called "Star formation or web formation".
Thank you, Marian, also for the info here below:
"Such star patterns often surround holes in ice, but the origin of their shape has always been a mystery. ... The star patterns are formed when a hole in a recently-frozen lake allows water to swell up from beneath and spread over the snow-covered surface, leaving dark “fingers” of melted ice stemming from a central point.

When I see these kinds of aster flowers I feel the summer is starting fade out. Sure, I do LOVE autumn, but I do not like late summer - just makes me feel lonely.
I started off well today but then I had a bad fall in the garden in the afternoon. Hopefully I'll be able to get online a bit more tomorrow and my chiropractor will repair today's damage in the afternoon. I don't feel very sore, just a little achy here and there. I thought there might be a tent over my witch hazel and there was. I moved it so that we might be able to see flowers in the spring. It does have buds. After I fell backwards onto my back and my head, i put deer repellant on the plants that they like to eat so the fall was worth it.
