I had very few butterflies even earlier in the gardening season. It's sad to have so few! I have already started making notes for next spring and there are a few things you've featured in the post that I would really like to add. Your zinnas, asters, white anemones and black berry lilies are terrific!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-37394600785992713622016-10-31T09:38:45.015-05:002016-10-31T09:38:45.015-05:00What an amazing array of colours!

Your October Asters are the same ones I have. I didn't know the name of them, a blogging friend gave me some about 5 years ago, and they came from her Aunt's garden, so I know them only as "Aunt Dottie's Asters."

I don't have Frost Aster, but I have a weak spot for weedy asters generally. Calico Aster would be a good example - weedy but I love it anyway (but still I yank out tons of it).
