Vintage wasp catcher from France, $60 - Dreamy Whites
Summer passed
firefly-fast
Now dancing asters
have a blast
as golden roadsides
roll in shawls
of fuzzy faces
soft and small
Violet
fireflake
snowworks call
Love now
We will not last
It's fall
Asters by Amy LV
Daintily
branched all the way down the stem, and covered with tiny starry flowers with
violet eyes, these beauties grace dry meadows and roadsides in late September. The Small White-Flowered Aster and Calico
Aster (Symphyotrichum racemosa & Symphyotrichum lateriflorum) are known to
inbreed readily, so it’s not uncommon to see variations. I transplanted
a few plants from the side of the road two years ago and I’m rewarded with
bloom without further fuss.
What is your favorite aster?
Until next time, stay shabby!
