New England aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae)
This aster is a common wildflower in fields and along roadsides across Ontario. New England asters are so attractive they are often sold at nurseries.

As you can see the bumblebees like them too!

Love the lovely delicate flowers, whether they are common blooms or rarities matters not because they are beautiful. The photos of the bee are fantastic!
Aster day flowers...I thought they were yesterday's flowers. ;-)
Very pretty. Like your treatment. The bee is perfect.
I be impressed!
Love the softness of the photo.
These fall asters are so pretty. boy oh boy that bee is just gobbling up the flower---you bet your aster. For some stupid reason I like saying that. I guess because I can. LOL MB
This is a marvelous post. I love when these delicate flowers go from white to this phosphorescent blue. Haunting and lovely.
Beautiful shots of the Aster. They are pretty flowers.
wow. vibrant softness.
Thanks for sharing.
The colour of the asters is very pretty. Even if they are common, they are very attractive.
Your series of Aster is very nice!.
Next week, I will exhibit some flowers that do not know.
Have a nice Sunday, Tina!
Pretty purple, my favorite color. Well done.
WOW! Gorgeous! I love the colors!
I LOVE Asters! I used to think they were just small daisies!
When I was little, living in europe, asters were always my birthday flowers. For that reason alone I have always loved them and your captures are so beautiful.
I love the color of the asters and great shots with the bees feeding.
sweet color. i love to put a bunch of these on my desk.:p
I just thought of something...I'm a songwriter (well, I used to be) and I always liked the song, "Yesterday."
So, how about if I write a song to go along with this post about a young woman holding a bouquet of Asters from a lover who left her the day before; I'll call it "Asterday."
No? Ah, shucks.
Lovely asters. Such a beautiful colour too and I love to see how the bees and butterflies are attracted to them.
Beautiful pictures of this lovely flower!
What wonderful collages of flowers and bees! Beee-utiful!
I love the color! We have other aster family wildflowers, but haven't seen one quite like this.
Oh, the aster, ever so lovely.
