Aster alpinus 'Dunkle Shone' (Dark Beauty)

She is in all her glory! #aster

@lovestogarden: Indeed and job well done Janice! 🤗❤️🦋

Joy, I take no credit except for planting the seeds. These are hardy. @joy4todd

I have planted some Aster seeds two days ago and hopefully, it will be successful and hardy for us. They are so pretty. Enjoy the day Janice ~ @lovestogarden.

Thank you, Joy, my day has been nice! Oh, I hope your seeds are successful. They are a pretty flower. @joy4todd

My family has always known these as "the daisy-like flowers from Grandpa", but rather think there might be another. They grow to about 12" high and #selfseed . #flower #blossom

I kind of slightly guessed it might be an Aster, Laura 😊. Any idea which one? Thank you so much for your help! @columbiariver

LOL, me too Laura! There are many more #memories with that type of name. 😂 Looking forward to your #Aster share. 👏 @columbiariver

@Cyndi , thank you so much! 🕵👏
