Wordless Wednesday: Last and First
The last of the summer Phlox and the first of the woodland ex-asters, both stalwart wildflowers at Clay and Limestone. I can't imagine gardening without either of them. This may be the only photo I have of an ex-aster without pollinators!

PS I think one of the ex-asters will be the October Wildflower Wednesday star (October 24, 2018).

Such a sweet combo. The asters are rockin here with just a few phlox blooms.
ReplyDeleteAsters are a garden star. Love them this time of year! ❤️🍂
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty combination of native plants! The Asters are still going strong here, but they may succumb after a few nights of frost/freezes. :(
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to find a few phlox re-blooming in my garden, too. This is a pretty combo, Gail!
ReplyDeleteThey seem to be cuddling up to each other.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet together! Our phlox are done, but the asters are still doing their thing:)
