What's Blooming Now - Prairie Asters 10/16/10




My Prairie Aster is just beginning to burst into bloom. You can see all the little buds in the picture above. Next weekend it will be a pretty great show! After it blooms I let it die away on its own and turn brown. In the late winter I cut away all the branches so that only a rosette of greenery is left.
Prairie Aster is a butterfly magnet. It's quite the busy scene of activity when it is in bloom.
