Pavlova Aster

lovely color!

I like it!! Wouldn't have thought aster! I was thinking crysanthemum or something like that Thanks Joanne

I do love that aster. It is a type of Chinese Tiger Paw. I started a mix of colors this year from seed that were really nice. Here's the full photo

Simply lovely Joanne!

thanks for posting the full photo! Now I may have to look into these haha!

Fabulous banner!!

Really pretty! Love the color! Wouldn't have guessed what it was, and I love the full photo!

Sue I like your avatar! Is it you on the golden gate on a bike?? How cool is that!

Yes Greg, that's me a few years ago, the first time we rode across the bridge, it was a fabulously beautiful October day. We did it again a couple of years later but it was cold and overcast. We park on one side, ride over and into a town on the other side, have lunch and catch a ferry back to the city and ride back to our car.

Very pretty, the color is wonderful! I too like the post of the full picture.

Actually, I was thinking more of a anemone.. absolutely stunning picture Joanna!!

Toni haha exactly! A sea anemone! (oh or did you mean the plant?)
CalifSue, what a great way to spend the day! I love the bay area! Haven't been there for a while now though!

After I read anemone, I thought it looked like a sea anemone also! Didn't even consider the plant! Hopefully it wasn't the plant that was being referred to!

The color is really amazing, and I can just see it swaying back and forth in the ocean.

Me too Natalie! The plant was an after thought for me

No, was thinking of sea anemones, not the flower. Like this one:

I am so jealous. I can't grow anything from seed... except for thistles. Those grow from seed for me very well, whether I want them to or not.

I do leave an amount of thistle growing because the chickadees love them! (I actually don't mind them either, I know they're not the 'friendliest' plants what with all those prickers but...they're pretty in their way!)
Toni its funny how several of us were thinking the same thing!
Oh wow I just looked at your link, it looks just like it!! How crazy!! Thanks Toni, that's really cool!

Nice one Joanne!
I was going to say Osteospernum.????

Thanks everyone. The only place I have found to order the seeds is Vesey's Seeds. They have both, a Canadian and US online catalog.

Thanks Joanne!
