How difficult is it to identify Asters as to cultivar?  |

| Your tall lavender one could be Aster novae-angliae, now called Symphyotrichum novae-angliae http://davesgarden.com/guides/... I have one like it, from Annie's Annuals called "Skyscraper'. http://www.anniesannuals.com/p... |

| I believe you are correct Sue. It does get really tall. The other two were given to me by Diana, she lives here in Dallas, OR. I sure love them. Going to add them to the Aster page since I don't know for sure what the cultivar names are. |

| The pinks ones have more the look of Aster novi belgii , the bright pink one looks like 'Winston Churchill' although I'm seeing big variations in the colour of that, there are several which look the same as yours. http://www.phengels.fr/jardin-... http://www.gardenworldimages.c... http://www.tadine.ca/fleurs/as... Aster novi-belgii 'Little Pink Lady' looks close for the lighter one.. http://www.fabfolia.co.uk/plan... A page of pics on a grower's site to browse. It looks like yours are not the current varieties but it's nice to look at them to see the different varieties. http://www.hogendoornholland.c... http://www.fotosearch.com/phot... Little Pink Lady and Winston Churchill are both older varieties and probably widely sold. There was once fewer varieties than there is now! http://www.fabfolia.co.uk/plan... |

I'm going to email Diana and see if she remembers the names of the two pink ones.  |
