Description
A blanket of Colorado Wildflowers, Purple Asters covers the side of the highway in Telluride, Colorado.
Transformed into a colored pencil sketch with Topaz impressions.
Tough and reliable, asters are a natural for dry climates like ours where several native species delight mountain hikers. In fact, many aster varieties fail to survive the winter if kept too moist.

Among cultivated asters, growth habits range from three-foot perennials to compact mounds. The greek word aster refers to the yellow-centered, star-like flowers that can be white, red, pink, purple, lavender and blue.
Though asters generally bloom in late summer and fall, alpine aster blooms in May and June. This little rock-garden plant bears one-and-one-half inch, violet flowers, although white, blue, lavender, and pink flowers are also available. Alpine asters grow best in full sun and well-drained, moist soil.
