Aster novi-belgii “Little Man in Blue”
Nalinki at Angles and Views has started #flowersoverflowers where we can share our favourite blossoms of the week. It seems like a good idea to spread some blooms across the Internet. I am more than happy to join in.
Earth laughs in flowers 
This is a lovely idea to spread the blooms! So beautiful.
beautiful flower and stunning macro shot!
Nice to see this little man!
he’s a lovely soft blue, though looks more violet here.
What a cute name! He’s really cute. 🙂
He’s the best one too – much more prolific than the other two he shares a pot with.
He deserves a pat on the back. ( I can’t believe I used the word “cute” twice in two short sentences!) 😳
Well he is. Cute 🙂
Hehehe 😉
Oh, that’s a fabulous close up, Jude! You are having fun 🙂 🙂
This is one of my own too! A cheery pot of three varieties on the ‘patio’ that I bought last year so I am very glad that they all survived and have flowered again.
Sounds lovely! 🙂
Just for you 🙂
A bouquet! 🙂 🙂 Thank you!
Anything for you 😀
The yellow stamens really set off the soft blue/purple petals, nice close up Jude
I agree, a lovely colour contrast. They are quite small flowers too, you really only notice all this detail when close in.
Your macro lens is giving you a new perspective Jude.
It is. And I take a lot less photos when I put that lens on!
and more patience!
Jude I feel like I need a thesaurus when I get to your posts. Brilliant capture, stunning image. You are just freakishly talented my friend. 🙂
Freakish, possibly 😀
Talented? Well thank you Sue, just a lot more patient than I used to be. [that really translates as too old to move fast]
Such bright colours and a wonderful contribution to #flowersoverflowers xxx
Thank you. The asters are a welcome sight at this time of year.
