"Aster" (Asteraceae)

Garden Memories....

They are gone now since a short time and I already miss them - the colours...

Copper Shades....

I especially love this wonderful shading of orange - copper - yellow - no colour could be warmer than these...

More Autumn Colours

Fall Colours in Lilac....
