The asters are abuzz with pollinators. While standing among the wildflowers, I hear the buzzing as loud and pleasant. There are many Panicled Aster Symphyotrichum lanceolatum plants in the riparian area around the pond. The nectar and pollen of the flowerheads attract many kinds of insects, including honeybees, bumblebees, wasps, flies, butterflies, skippers, and beetles. I have not seen any Wild Turkey here, but they feed on the seeds and foliage of aster plants. Maybe some day . . .
