My asters have also started to bloom. One clump of asters were eaten by deer earlier this year. So that was a sort of pruning that I wouldn't have done :o). Now those asters are only about 15" tall. It will be several more weeks before they start to bloom. I will experiment with pruning the asters next year to control their blooming time.

Got up early today to take some Brug photos:

1. 'Xena' planted in the ground. Its roots are competing with a huge Nandina and Knowout Roses (behind it). It is impossible for me to dig it out for the winter.
2. 'Xena' planted in a big pot. Not sure why a lot of leaves suddenly turned yellow last week. Probably Hubby didn't water it as I asked him to, haha. No signs of bugs. So I will just leave it alone.
3. 'Xena' flowers
4. 'Dr Seuss' laden with buds. I hope more of them open this weekend when I am home.
