Small autumn asters-purple and white-Macro Flowers Saturday 74

Another weekend and a new round of Macro Flowers Saturday.

Many thanks for sharing your beautiful flowers from around the world with us at Macro Flowers Saturday.

I can't wait to see your autumn flower and the spring flowers as well, from the other half of the world.

These little purple asters are in full flower now by us. The blooms are tiny but they come in very showy clusters, in purple, lavender and also in white. They are hardy plants and bloom till snowfall.

Purple aster with a little beeThis small purple bushy aster is called the wood's purple-Aster dumosus.

Aster dumosus-purple Wood's aster bushThe lavender one is the New England Aster - Aster novae-angliae, though I could be wrong with the names. They all look the same to me except the color.

Purple aster flowersThe white one is the Aster vimineus. Though I don't see any difference between these flowers except the color, they are all different species.

We have a lot of these same flowers in bloom right now. Mostly the wildflowers and it's so nice to still have pastels as we move into colder weather.
