I especialy like the fact, that it is blooming late in the year to keep insects happy.<br /><br />There has obviously been a heavy frost while I have been away from home. Many plants are frost damaged, and everything is looking a little sad. I am sure if I make a more detailed search tomorrow I shall find some blooms......<br /><br />BTW have you received the book yet? I do hope so, as it has been several weeks since I posted it to you. If you have I hope that you are finding it useful and good reading.<br /><br />Have a happy and peaceful weekend.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-17470296112531763672010-10-29T10:23:51.597-05:002010-10-29T10:23:51.597-05:00It has quite a wild growing habit that it is remin...It has quite a wild growing habit that it is reminiscent of baby's breath to me.

It looks lovely. Just like a big frosty cloud. Snowflakes of Asters before the real thing comes. Sorry--I imagine you are not looking forward to snow in the least. We are still experiencing 90's in the afternoons, and cold crisp frosty mornings sound like heaven to me. I do hope the weather stays warm for you to enjoy Frost Aster as long as possible.Morning Glories in Round Rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988634441429032483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-76377258277320061822010-10-28T10:07:55.090-05:002010-10-28T10:07:55.090-05:00Well I'm glad you didn't pull up your litt...Well I'm glad you didn't pull up your little aster.
