Flowers
✿ White Aster ✿
Aster comes in a variety of colors including red, white, orange and various shades of pink and purple. Although I have seen another variety growing a couple weeks ago, aster generally blooms during the cooler months. This white variety is in abundance right now, marking the start of Autumn.
In Greek, Aster means star or star-like. I understand that the flower looks like a star, a true star in the sky does not really appear with five points but with many rays of light coming out of the center.
In ancient Greece, aster leaves were burned to keep away evil spirits and drive off serpents.
