Au jardin : un plant mis en terre il y a deux ans, sans donner de suite apparemment .. mais qui vient de fleurir enfin en beauté cette année...

"Quand tout fout le camp
Quand tout est décevant
Quand rien n'est à sa place
Pas même moi
Quand tout me lasse
Quand tout est dégueulasse
Quand rien ne vaut la peine
Pas même moi
Je pense aux fleurs
Qui sont parfaites
Qui n'ont pas d'autre rôle que de l'être
Je pense aux fleurs
Et c'est bête
Mais j'envie leur beauté muette
Quand les faits divers
Me donnent des insomnies
Quand rien ne me guéris
Pas même toi
Quand je cherche un sens
À ma longue errance
Que rien ne me soulage
Rien ne me séduit
Je pense aux fleurs
qui sont parfaites
Qui n'ont pas d'autre rôle que de l'être
Je pense aux fleurs
Et c'est bête
Mais j'envie leur beauté muette
Mais j'envie leur beauté muette
Que mon cœur implose
Qu'on me morde mes pensées
M'enivre comme une vague
Prête à m'avaler
Quand je suis coincée
Dans un corps trop étroit
Que je sens l'univers
Se refermer sur moi
Je pense aux fleurs
qui sont parfaites
Qui n'ont pas d'autre rôle que de l'être
Je pense aux fleurs
Et c'est bête
Mais j'envie leur beauté muette"
for a happy Sunday!
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.
Asterism (astronomy)" - Wikipedia
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.

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.
The Aster: symbol of elegance, fidelity and death
Of Greek origin, its name means 'star' because of the shape of the flower. The aster is said to have been born in the tears shed by the Greek Goddess of Justice, Astraeus, when Pandora opened the box containing all the evils of mankind. Roman mythology has made it the emblematic flower of Venus, the goddess of Love. According to the Roman poet Virgil, the altars of the gods were often decorated with asters.
Other cultures have their own rich legends when it comes to the aster flower. A Cherokee legend goes that the aster represents the blue fringed dress worn by two sisters who fled to the forest to avoid battling tribes. In Germany and England, it was believed that aster flowers held magical powers.
And in France, bouquets of asters were placed on the graves of fallen soldiers as a representation of the wish that the battle had had a different outcome.
Asters are appropriate for just about any occasion. They are the birth flowers for September and also a flower that is given on 20th wedding anniversaries.
