Asters

The tiny flowers of Aster 'Little Carlow', Aster frikartii 'Monch', Chrysanthemum 'Clara Curtis'.
The pink Asters are unknown. I grew them from cuttings taken from plants in my mums garden. This Aster was already in the garden when we all moved in over 30 years ago. It doesn't get mildew. It is around 5 feet tall and despite the heavy rain we have had recently it hasn't flopped over.
All the Asters are much loved by insects. As I pass the flowers I can hear a hum from bees and other insects.

  1. These look very similar to the ones that grow outside my window - so pretty. I love the vase you chose to arrange them in as well.
    Wishing you a lovely weekend, Gill!

  2. Hi Zuzu

    I originally had the flowers in a cream jug but they didn't look right. This jug seems perfect for them.
    Enjoy your weekend.
