I am potting them up and putting them in the greenhouse. I am thinking of selling them at the gate next year.....<br /><br />Asters are a dream and such a wonderful source of nectar....<br />I have lots of them, they have reseeded all over the place. My father gave them to me when we moved here.....<br />Your photographs show perfectly just how pretty they are.....Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798548726043864530.post-35273522379419543122009-10-21T15:28:43.165+01:002009-10-21T15:28:43.165+01:00How pretty (and great photos).

Is it just the young flowers that are curly i.e. do they straighten as the flowers open?Yanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08654318522995279468noreply@blogger.com
