Blue Asters

More commonly known as Symphyotrichum.

There are a few blue asters up here and there and every where.

This is the final big show of the season, a mountain awash in blue asters.

Best of all they prefer the dappled shade of the forest. We have that.

They mix quite a bit with the still blooming Goldenrods.

The main colors of the mountaintop are currently blue, yellow and white with the first hints of Goth coming in.

The days are shorter,. The leaves are falling. Some cool is headed this way. The mountain has turned ice blue. And so it ends, in a bang not a whimper.

While there is still some nice looking Joe Pye.
