Plant of the Day

Thursday 28 September 2023

The cultivar Symphyotrichum novae-angliae 'Andenken an Alma Pötschke' (New England aster, hairy michaelmas daisy) has vivid pink flowers with yellow centres providing a vibrant show in early autumn. This vigorous plant has a good resistance to mildew.

Early October on Dunkard Creek at Mason-Dixon Historical Park. Even with the first frost just around the corner, life abounds along the stream, including: sulphur shelf fungus (Laetiporus sulphureus), more commonly known as chicken-of-the-woods; fall phlox (Phlox paniculata); and the flamboyantly-beautiful New England aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae). The park is also at the eastern-most range of the thorny-trunked honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos), whose common name derives from the sweet taste of its edible fruit pods.

Saw the potted New England Asters blooming and bringing on the butterflies so ended up taking some photos and trying one final attempt to try to get SOMETHING sold from the greenhouse before season's end. Still $5 per 1-gal potted plant as they were in spring. Gonna just quote from the business page from here;

"It's Aster season, and with it even the native species take the charge. The New England Aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae) is a pretty easy-grow species among them.

Grows well in moist sunny gardens, it can also do decent in part sun and slightly drier locations once established. Beautiful purple masses of flowers from mid-august at earliest till frost cracks down a hard night in October at latest, bigger plants will attempt to flower for longer. One of the best late season nectar flowers for pollinators of all sorts with one of its few autumn flowering rivals for pollinator-magnet being the Goldenrod, which often look really gorgeous together.

Can become a little tall and lanky but is easily shorted a bit with a mid summer prune shortening or two with little fuss about it on their part."

#no you can't ask if you can buy them here I have no ability to ship plants or I would probably have slightly better reach in plant business #plantblr #my post #my plants #gardeners of tumblr #gardeners on tumblr #New England Aster #Aster #flowers #Symphyotrichum novae-angliae #Symphyotrichum

Bzzz!

Just some bees in my garden and in the fields and on a neighbourhood walk. :)

Featured bees include bumblebees (native), green sweatbees (native), honeybees (invasive), carpenter bees (native), and some I'm not sure about.

Featured flower hosts include bull thistles (invasive weed), rose of sharon (invasive), New England aster (native), cup plant (native), starthistle (not native), Nuttall's sunflower (native), purple coneflower (native), anise hyssop (native), white wood aster (native), swamp milkweed (native), sow thistle (invasive weed), creeping charlie (invasive), creeping thistle (invasive weed), wild rose (native maybe), wild bergamot (native), bride's feathers (native), bigleaf lupin (native maybe or invasive), and upright prairie coneflower "Mexican hat" (native species, but a cultivar).

All my photos, unedited. Don't mind the weirdness of the third last photo. It's my phone's "portrait" which I found out belatedly can have, uh, interesting results.
