A Lot More Blue

It was only a couple of weeks ago that I said I needed more blue. It's here now.





















It just comes when all the other colors in the tall flower meadow have begun to fade. The goldenrod in particular had a very short bloom this year. A lot of it came and went in a week it seems.





















All that blue is sneaking into every scene.





















All I have to do for all this blue is edit out the unwanted. Then the Blue Wood Asters and more fill in the blank spots. It's so nice to have a garden with good weeds.

What is the botanical name of the blue aster?

It's Symphyotrichum cordifolium.

I wish we had good weeds. The utility easement on our Madison Co. land is full of poison ivy, briars, pasture roses, Japanese knotweed and other undesirables.

Judy B, start throwing out seed and editing out the bad stuff. A little bit each year and before you know it magic happens.
