Frost aster


A bank of frost aster (Symphyotrichum pilosum) along the Cumberland Avenue roadside, looking east towards the intersection with US 231, West Lafayette.  My own reason for calling this frost aster is because you often see it flowering in early winter while snow or frost is covering the ground.  Photos taken October 8, 2016.
