#Hairy white oldfield Aster

[vandaliatraveler]

Dreary weekend in NC-WV, but once I got over my hangover from the WVU-Texas Tech game this morning, I managed to sneak in a quick fall hike on the Virgin Hemlock Trail in Coopers Rock State Forest. The asters are out in force and quite beautiful this fall. Among them are (from top): purplestem aster (Symphyotrichum puniceum); frost aster (Symphyotrichum pilosum), also known as awl aster; calico aster (Symphyotrichum lateriflorum); and blue wood aster (Symphyotrichum cordifolium).

Decided to switch up my icon and header images to pics of some of my favorite native plants I have at the habitat ring.

Ohio spiderwort (tradescantia ohiensis) because it’s just a lovely flower and shares the name of my home state which I very much miss

Hairy white oldfield aster (symphyotrichum pilosum) because it’s prolific and volunteered in the most difficult spot in the yard, looks absolutely lovely in the fall, especially in large massed plantings, and is a favorite of insects. I’ve always adored asters in general, partially because they’re the host plant to my favorite butterfly, the pearl crescent

Symphyotrichum Workout

Symphyotrichum lateriflorum (Calico Aster) on 10-9-22, #916-11. Hello everyone! I hope this post finds you well. The past week has been fairly cool and it finally rained. This is a perfect time of the year to get dirty and do some fall cleanup. One of the most baffling genera of plants on the farm has been the Symphyotrichum. Even pronouncing it can be a challenge. It’s…
