New England Aster

  Bee on Aster

The New England Aster is beautiful, but patience is required to see it. It doesn’t bloom until October. With the exception of the Mum, most every other flower in the garden has lost its bloom.

I like the Aster because it attracts the bees, probably their last easy meal for awhile. The flower is small, but plentiful and looks like a purple blanket has been draped over a fence.
