October Blossoms

When we we talk about fall color we automatically think of trees turning beautiful shades of yellow, red, orange and brown. But there is a lot of color right at our feet. Many wildflowers save their blossoms for fall, feeding the bees and migrating butterflies.

The asters shown above are seen everywhere, even in our yard. They are always a target for insects. The colors range from white to pale blue to bright purple. The blossoms are very small and numerous.
