Asters

/ˈæstərz/ noun

Definition

Plural of aster, a flowering plant with daisy-like blooms that typically come in purple, pink, or white.

Etymology

From Latin 'aster' and Greek 'aster' meaning 'star,' named for the star-shaped arrangement of petals in the flower.

Kelly Says

Asters bloom in late summer and fall when many other flowers have faded, earning them the nickname 'September flowers,' and they're absolute magnets for bees and butterflies preparing for winter.
