Next year I will cut this Aster plant back several times to avoid the legginess seen this year, which I've lassoed in with a thick piece of twine. Bees are still afoot in my garden thanks to it. The above shot was taken in the late afternoon shade, the below one in mid-morning light. What beautiful little faces in those flowers!
Since the arrival of fall, I'm convinced the Porter Plains Garden is my favorite garden at Denver Botanic Gardens (DBG). The grasses, rabbitbrush, broom snakeweed, Helianthus and asters sway in the breeze, relfecting the golden autumn light.
