Well now, come along and have a look at these little fellows here—Aster Powder Puffs, rose-coloured, mind you. Pretty things, aren’t they? Look like someone’s dropped a lady’s powder puff right in the flower bed, half expect them to start asking for a dressing table and a mirror. Come late summer when the garden’s looking a bit tired, up they pop with these cheerful little rose-coloured pom-poms. Bees absolutely adore them too. Now asters are sensible plants, you see. Not like those fussy roses that sulk if you so much as look at them the wrong way. No, these powder puffs just get on with things. Bit of sun, a drink now and then, and they’re happy as anything. Of course they do spread about a bit… but then nothing wrong with a bit of enthusiasm in the garden. Anyway, every garden ought to have a patch of these rose-coloured Aster Powder Puffs. Cheerful little things. Brighten up the place just when autumn’s creeping in.
