finally ASTERS






I have long dreamed about asters, even wrote a paper about this flower name in poetry (not to be confused with the China asters from an earlier post, these ones, the true asters, are perennials). And now I finally have them in my garden, this pretty lilac variety. I've grown them from seeds and even if it was said on the package that they would bloom the second year, to my utter delight they have already flowered! They are supposed to get quite big and bushy, I can't wait... ah patience... :-)

(a half of zinnia is visible too :-)

  2. I guess seeds can't read. I have noticed this curious fact; nevertheless, some seeds read the classics, but never the pontifications on the seed packet.

    1. haha - but how strange is that, though! this unpredictability seems to be a main trait of plants, but not animals :-) babies arrive all at the same time!
