These photos were taken in the wild patch of our backyard. It's the area where I let most things grow to see how they turn out and what wildlife they attract.
There were several bees around the wild asters, probably gathering the last of the pollen that they could this season.
They were busy flitting from flower to flower and didn't mind me taking photos.
I'm always thrilled to capture some new lens friends.
I'm sharing with Clay and Limestone for Wildflower Wednesday. This may be the last one for me till next spring.
Take time to enjoy the garden today.
I just love asters! These are beautiful. How fun to have these growing in a wild patch!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, are these really wild or garden escapees. If they are the former you're very lucky!
ReplyDeleteI am really hating that I didn't plan for them this year but they are in the plans for next year. They are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda - asters are always one of my favorite fall bloomers. When my brother got married on his horse farm, they decorated the wedding arch with asters - it was beautiful, rustic and oh so fall.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda. What wonderful picturesofthe Asters and Bees. Beautiful. I love wild asters.
ReplyDeleteI'm quite sure they are wild ones Janet, as we see them along the edges of fields as well.
ReplyDeleteOh those asters are sooooo lovely! I would love to have some of those. Our wild asters are really tiny blossoms, but I love them nonetheless. :) Happy Fall!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda
ReplyDeleteThe fields are covered with the wild asters here, they really are a pretty wildflower. I have several varieties in my gardens and the bees are busy with them too.

Linda, Say it isn't so! Your last WW~NO! Share with us this winter even if you have to hang out in the archives! The bees are so busy on asters just before the first frost that they seem to be oblivious of me, too. But, here in TN we have another month of late summer. Isn't it delightful that we share many of the same wildflowers! gail
ReplyDeleteAsters are lovely coloured flowers, I like the last picture with the bumble bee.
ReplyDeletebest wishes Julie.C
I have these around here, as well. they're beautiful! I have even grown them in the flowerbed.
ReplyDeleteHaving a wild patch in your yard sounds like a great idea. The asters are a beautiful shade of blue, and I love the bee shots!
