Lots of aster photos to come over the next few weeks, I'm sure.
I found a banded garden spider this evening while in a local park! Very cool!
All of these asters were saved from my lawn this spring and moved to my native gardens.
Today seems like a good day for another plains sunflower appreciation post.
The native garden season will soon be wrapping up, but until then, it's aster season! They always put on one hell of a grand finale!
Smooth blue aster disappeared in my garden around 8 years ago after rabbits ate the only one I had in back-to-back years. I still don't understand how, but it came back this year, and just started blooming! I will absolutely be collecting seeds and growing more!
I saved quite a few Drummond's asters from my lawn in spring, and many are starting to bloom in my native gardens!
I took video of it happening, too! youtube.com/watch?v=lPi6Xj…

Huge thanks to our volunteer, Carmen! Her hard work & dedication at the @SomersEagles Pollinator Patch is making a difference & her progress photos are helping us tell the story! Can you spot the FOUR monarch butterfly caterpillars on the native Butterfly Weed in the 1st photo?🦋
Life finds a way. After being found on the ground in a tire track after the plant it was on was destroyed, the monarch eclosed this morning and I was lucky enough to watch it happen!

Walking the park today and I found an area cleaned out with machinery to reclaim a trail. Then I find a monarch chrysalis on the ground. No clue if it's still alive or dead, but I tied it to a branch anyway to give it a chance.
I've added tons of native plants over the years, but sometimes they add themselves. Shout out to the native plants that found their way to my yard on their own. In this case, goldenrods and asters.
