The blue aster in the back is Professor Von Klippenburg -- it seems foolish that the dwarf is in the back, but this was the front of the border at the time. The white lace is self-seeded alyssum, and the aster in the front is Viking (I think).

Photographed September 2002

Professor planted in 2000, Viking in 2001
