Aster: Asters are ancient wildflowers in the daisy family. Aster means star in Latin. The early English name for the aster was starwort. It was later changed to Michaelmas Daisy as it blooms around St. Michaelmas Day (September). The color for September is purple and stands for valor, love, afterthought and daintiness. Cherokee legend describes a terrible war between two tribes. As the war raged, all the villagers in one tribe were killed — all but two young sisters who ran to hide in the woods. Both girls wore doeskin dresses, one fringed and dyed lavender-blue, the other a bright yellow. The sisters sought out the 'Herb Woman' who lived nearby. As the sisters slept under the stars, the 'Herb Woman' looked to their future and saw the enemy tracking them down. To save them she sprinkled them with a magic potion and covered them with leaves. In the morning there were two flowers where the sisters had slept, one a lavender-blue aster the other a yellow goldenrod.

The Aster of yours is stunning. And not only the flower but also the composition, the colour palette and the framing. Great work my friend. But definitely has to be viewed in full size, guys!

If you admire nature for its creations why don't you visit the gallery of its reporter...
Hi there Eve. What an awesomely beautiful capture of this equally awesome flower. The color, the quality, the clarity and the composition are spot on. Thank you for sharing this beauty. It went right to my desktop where I can admire it for a much longer time :)
P.S. I am one-half Cherokee..maybe that is why I was so drawn tot his capture. Thank you for posting it :~)
