Now we see your half of today’s coincidental pairing with Tom Whelan’s post. I like your way of casting each seed head as an aster future. That makes you an aster future teacher.

I thought that a bit more interesting title than “Future Asters”. Nature’s investment for the next season.

Asters are among the wildflowers that we’ve long since come to expect and cherish at the cabin but, well, you know . . . hopefully next year.

Yes, hopefully. A change is coming and we are anticipating better things.

The grouping and the details are super. Perhaps not the same aster as mine, maybe some day I’ll learn to identify them in the seedy phase.

Thanks, Tom. My dried flowers skills are very seedy.

You could almost say “Astro futures.” 😉

I like the way each of the flowers is at a slightly different stage, with the seeds themselves unequally revealed — it’s very appealing.

Thanks. I had many stalks to choose from but most were a little messier than I envisioned. It was a bit breezy too and I worried that some of the seeds would blow away but this one held on tight.
