Flower of the Month: The Aster

These dainty, daisy-like flowers are great to use as filler in a garden and are available in shades of white, pink, lavender, red and purple. From the Greek word meaning star, asters are a symbol of love, daintiness and afterthought. Best of all, asters attract bees, butterflies and birds. The bee shortage has been well publicized recently and many garden experts recommend planting bee-attracting flowers.
