Though the landscape was planted only 18 months ago, a cloud of meadow flowers—beebalm, Joe-Pye weed, New England aster—hovers around his chest.

We have black-eyed daisies and, in fall, New England asters, which reseed themselves.

At that time Scudder had reason to believe that the Pearl Crescent laid its eggs exclusively upon the New England aster.

Here, among others, may be found the beautiful aster Novae-Anglia, or New England aster with blue or rose-colored rays and a yellow center, the blossoms fluffy and large, often fully two inches across.

And nothing, I have discovered, is much easier to transplant than a New England aster, the showiest of the family.
