Some of my favorite autumn flowers are asters. They come in all sizes and shapes and colors and wait until mid to late September to present their multi-petaled flowers to the world. This is a gorgeous purple aster in bloom right now at our local East Wharf beach. The plants are quite large, fully flowered, and attract hundreds of slow, pollen-filled bees making sure they have as much food as possible to bring back to their hives for these col, fall nights.

I LOVE ASTERS ALSO. I SAW SOME MUMS FOR SALE AT THE LOCAL STORE IN THE PAPER. WHAT A JOKE, THEY WANTS $15.00. I CALL THEM CROOKS. I LOVE THEM FOR FALL COLORS BUT NOT AT THAT PRICE. BESIDES IF I WANT TO SE PRETTY FLOWERS I'LL JUST COME HERE AND LOOK AT YOURS. MUCH CHEAPER THAT WAY.
