Aristocrats...
Thanks for letting me republish this beautiful essay.

This post makes me wonder whether I have seen this plant and mistakenly ID'ed it as sky-blue aster or smooth blue aster.
Lovely as always. I'll look.
And thanks for an engaging and fascinating presentation at the LIbrary Thursday night. I always learn so much from you! You're a national treasure!
Thank you Gloria. I'm going to try to get seeds this fall if I can catch them at the right moment. I'd be happy to give you some (assuming my efforts succeed).
Hi Diane! I love this piece. I find it so challenging to distinguish the asters.
If you don't object, I would like to republish this later in October (I have a few wildflower Wednesdays lined up before then).
Sure. Absolutely. Thank you Laura!
Enjoying our willow asters all the more with expanded knowledge! Thank you.
They're almost my favorite. I think they're very pretty when mixed with the darker purple New England Asters. Thanks for commenting!
Beside the path to the chicken coop, blooming cheerfully. Your photos are so delightfully intimate, Diane--thank you!
I love the image of you, walking to the chicken coop, with asters festooning your path!
Wonderfull to know these adorable and ROYAL Asters have Admirers such as ye!
My also wonderful iPhone let me zooooooom waaaay innnn to enjoy the Details! Oh My!!
Sigh....Another delightfull way to spend ten minutes of sweetness along with you.
Thank you, once again!

All over the eastern US except the Carolinas. Of course, that's where I live!
