26 is last number.
Daisies should be a staple in all gardens, especially cottage gardens.
I was surprised there is only one aster in the list.

Nothing that's been done can ever be changed.

I am surprised the paper or everlasting daisies didn't make it? Xerochrysum bracteatum.

The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.

Me too. I love my asters.

I garden for the pollinators.

We don't have many articles lined up for this week and I'm planning on running a "Top 10 Echinaceas" article later on. It sounds like maybe we should do a Top 10 Asters, as well.

Yep!

If we had no holes in our leaves we would have no butterflies!

I bet if lots of people post a lot of asters in the DB this year this list will look very different next year!

You know the list just automatically counts what ATP members have deemed popular by comments/thumbs
