I noticed several patches of purple in the pastures on my way to town last week, but didn't stop. They were still there this week, so this time I pulled over. I thought I was going to find flowered skunk weed, which I guess is a form of cleome. Instead, it was asters ... mounds and mounds of little asters. So nice to have their splash of purple!
we had asters all over our property when we bought it over 20 years ago...they waned gradually over the years til there weren't anymore...I loved them! nice to see these as a reminder!
