A flowering plant with star-shaped blooms in colors like purple, pink, or white.
From Latin and Greek 'aster' meaning 'star,' because the flower's petals radiate outward like a star. These flowers are called 'star flowers' in many languages.
Asters are one of the last flowers to bloom in fall, arriving when most other flowers have died—they're actually a signal that winter is coming, and ancient people used them to predict seasons!
