When I took this photo a few weeks ago, the asters were newly bursting into bloom with a fresh radiance that now, is a little lacking.
What strikes me most about this beautiful flower are the layers - of sepals, which are almost petal-like, that make up the calyx, and the gradation of tones of green - very pleasing to my eye :-)
As well, the layers and layers of petals that make the corolla - so many that the aster flower looks almost 'feathery' to me.
