One of my favorite “freebies:” the Small White Aster (Aster vimineus)
is coming into bloom. I have patches of these all over my yard. You need to know that they’re going to do this come October, so you don’t pull them up earlier in the summer. I had to fight off someone working on my house foundation who would have liked to pull up or trample all the “weeds” growing around my house.

FROM WEEDS TO BEES 
Robin,
For the first time this year, I have been noticing all these little asters that most people would consider as weeds, and now you do a post on them! I was wondering what they were called and now I know–thanks for solving the mystery!
