Master Blaster Asters!!

Isn't this a great back yard? I didn't plant- and can no credit for!- this aster display, other than to say that we didn't mow them down. This spring, I thought I recognized woodland asters by the foliage and it gave us less acerage to mow, so let them grow! And we have been wonderfully rewarded. It looks like Fairy Land.
Here's another shot; they go all the way back to Bob's studio. It has been a long lasting display, too. They just keep blooming. As this is very dry and thin soil (not to mention lots of competition from chunky spruce roots) I'd be hard pressed to plant anything else there. They didn't even require watering or weeding. Best of all is that asters are amoung my very favorite flowers.
