Aster novi-belgii (Syysasteri)

This in autumn flowering plant belongs to my childhood's memories. When the weather turned to cold, schools began and the first snow covered my mothers garden's last flowers: then the autumn-aster had just opened its flowers. Usually in vain, because the last insects har already fallen in lethargy.

So once finding them on the field I had to take some roots to plant them in my garden too. This flower doesn't belong to Finlands original flora, but it has escaped from the gardens for long time ago and may now be found in quite many places. It may have risk for invasive growth in same way as Solidago-species.
