 It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog!  This week's flower is New England Aster, I believe.  Some are hard to tell apart but the leaves and plant in general seem to match.  I captured these at the Discovery Center in Manhattan a little over a week ago.  They were attracting some bees and Monarchs which was great.  Their normal bloom time is September and October.  They can grow to 6 feet high which a lot of these were.

  1. Ours seem to be finished now. I call them fall asters, but they are also known as Michaelmas Daisies as well.
    I did find a few blooms of bread and butter yesterday and a small chicory yesterday - no others

    1. Yes, everything seems to be about done now. Winter is coming whether we like it or not.
