This aster plant is at the front of the house, enjoying its time in the spotlight.
One bloom even has a friend enjoying the autumn sunshine as well.
These asters below are wild flowers, now gone to seed in the fields and forests of the island.
I like both types of asters. How about you?

I have sky blue aster in my butterfly garden but have noticed a rich dark purple one growing wild and hope to collect seeds to add it to my garden. Asters and goldenrod growing together are a very pretty sight.
Being raised in the northern hemisphere they will always be known to me as Michaelmas Daisies. Whatever they are called I like them

I agree with Cathy, Michaelmas Daisies for ever!
Yes, I like asters and have had them in past gardens.
Mine are now finished and I do miss their beauty.
Love them both. Volunteer/wildflowers/weeds often have a LOT of charm.
I love the combination of asters and goldenrod as well, Judith. They are abundant in the wild here.
I didn't know them as Michaelmas daisies but it is a great name, Cathy. Thanks for sharing.
They are such a great addition to the fall colour, aren't they, Shammickite?
AC, they are such a great addition to the garden this time of year.
Yours bloom earlier than ours, like most of the plants we campare, Tabor.
EC! There is nothing quite as beautiful as a field of wildflowers. Putting weeds into that sentence wouldn't sound near as lovely.
What's in a name? Some weeds are beautiful. And my father told me that they were only a plant out of place.
I love those pretty purple asters the best. Lavender lovelies. L0(
Great reframe, EC.
That they are, Jan. Though I am drawn to the wildflowers too.
love purple, this included. :)
The depth of colour that's been bred into the cultivated plants is pretty.
