Pingback: Silent Sunday – Aster & Visitor | Purplerays
So pretty…
Thank you, Dale. A sure sign of autumn…
Yes, an early one 🙂
Love seeing blue and yellow flowers together. There’s something so fresh and cheering about them.
Thank you, Allison!
How calming and beautiful. What’s the weather like now?
Thank you, Maria. It’s still summery, upper 70s, low 80s. We’re still in drought, despite a few inches of rain last week. A few showers today and Tues., but we have a long way to go to catch up, alas.
Beautiful 💕🧡
Thank you, Karen! 🙂
Lovely photo. I found myself yesterday standing at the faucet ‘waiting’ to use it. What was I waiting for? There was a hummingbird at the feeder, and I didn’t want to disturb it. I did have a ‘quiet’ hearty laugh though while I stood there. Lots of gardening friend out there right now.
Ha, I’d do the same. I love my pollinator buddies. I’ll be sad to see them leave but will look forward to their return in May.
Another autumn and gold combination that betokens fall — at least, for me. It’s a lovely sight.
Thank you, Linda. Fall is a pretty time of year.
Great shot!!
Thank you, Isabel!
Wow, asters already. We’re in the lingering throes of summer—zinnias and hosta blooms.
The calico asters started 2 weeks ago, and now the larger ones are coming on. A bounty for the pollinators.
A beautiful flower and important meal for her…and then she can go to the goldenrod.
🙂 Lots of food out there for her to choose from!
So skillfully composed and captured, somewhat your flower arrangements. Happy Sunday!
Thank you, Hien!
So autumnal, Eliza, with the goldenrod in the background!
Thank you, Audrey, feels like we’ll have an early fall. 🍁
❤️🙌🏼🤗
Thank you, Susan. 🙂
Our New England Aster do draw the pollinators in. It’s aster season and so many species are in their glory right now. Happy Aster Sunday, Eliza!
Thank you, Steve. A great finale for the bees.
Love the color of the aster!
Thank you, Sandy!
Beautiful!🙂
Thank you!
Oh, look at that pretty aster! Mine won’t bloom until October-ish, but I look forward to that same purple (though probably a different species of aster) and the accompanying bees and butterflies too!
Thank you, Tina. Asters and goldenrod offer a good boost for bees before the cool weather sets in.
Lovely! I admit to feeling a little sorry that I pulled out my rambunctious aster last year. While it’s still attempting periodic sneaky comebacks, I don’t expect it’s going to get away with flowering.
Thank you, Kris. Well that one was a bit over the top. Most of our asters here are clumping, so not a big problem space wise. My favorite (S. cordifolia) is a bit rampant, but easy enough to control annually in spring.
So pretty!
Thank you, Belinda!
Such a beautiful photo Eliza. 😃
Thank you, Cathy!
Carry on, little pollinator! We can’t have too many pretty purple asters!
True! Thanks, Barbara. 🙂
Asters mean fall is at hand. Adiós, summer.
Though today is feeling summery, the cool nights are letting us know what is coming.
Aster is my birth month flower (September), so your photo made me smile — thanks, Eliza!
Thank you, Debbie and happy birth month!
This is so lovely. 🙂
Thank you, Robin!
Mine have yet to open 😦
Soon, I hope!
so dry in our area even last night’s storms came nowhere near us 😦
Such pretty flowers, Eliza. And the yellow background complements the purple flowers so well. And the bee, of course! 💜💛🐝
Thank you, Jane! x
Lovely colors
Thank you! ❤
Such a beautiful capture, Eliza, I love the softness of colors!
Thank you, Donna, this is a lovely time of year.
Lovely light and colours Eliza. I am sorry to read about your drought and hope you do get some more rain. Every bit counts for something I suppose.
Thank you, Carol. We’ve had little rain this past month, and still are considered in severe drought. Showers pass, barely wetting the ground. I’m not sure how the plants are surviving. Maybe October and November will yield more. Beyond that snow perhaps.
I do hope you get some decent rain soon. Such a worry.
Maybe we’ll get the tail end of Hurricane Ian… a few inches would be fine by me.
Ooh I hope it is only the tail end …
Yes, Ian is now a tropical storm hitting the Carolinas, once it heads inland, it will weaken. We’ll only see a northern band of rain showers and a bit of a breeze tomorrow. I really feel for the folks down in Florida, they got hammered.
Sorry for the delayed reply. Yes the hurricane damage has been horrifying.
Nevertheless I do hope that you got some rain in your region.
Thank you, Carol. We’re getting an inch or two here and there… but we’re going to need a lot more to fill the reservoirs. Fingers crossed for November, often our rainiest month.
Fingers crossed indeed!
Pretty shot! The purple and yellow, and green too, work so well together!
Thank you, Denise, I love the contrasting colors. 🙂
