I have decided to keep a separate gallery of wildflowers for each current year. During that year the gallery will be sorted in reverse order of date taken so that the most recent pictures appear at the beginning of this gallery. At the end of each year I'll collect the pictures into the main wildflower gallery, which is sorted in ascending order of date taken. See that gallery here: http://arctangent.smugmug.com/Nature/Vegetation/Wildflowers-Past-Years/5424475_QmrpZJ. I'll also re-sort the year's gallery in ascending order.

Included here are any flowers seen growing in wild or natural environments, as well as species known to occur in the wild but seen planted in various garden settings. Flowers might be native to North America, or alien imports, mainly from Europe.

D256-2012 New England Aster, Symphyotrichum novae-angliae (formerly Aster novae-angliae).  These have hairy stems, unlike the New York aster's smooth stems.  It would be difficult to distinguish between the two species based solely on bloom appearance.
Family Asteraceae . . . Native to North America.  Growing in popularity as a cultivated garden flower.
New York asters (Symphyotrichum novae-belgii) also grow at HLG.  Typically the New England asters have darker colors and prefer more open exposures than the New York asters in this environment.

D256-2012 Panicled Aster (tentative ID), Symphyotrichum lanceolatum, along with goldenrod and cattails.
The nearer patch of asters, in the lower left, has a faint bluish purple hue, while the more distant patch to the right is bright white.  But I believe they are the same species based on leaves as well as flower size, shape, and details.
