Michaelmas - #747

Aster amellus or Michaelmas Daisy

Not that anyone around here knows it as that, of course.

Here's it's just the Herbstaster - Autumn aster. Fairly logical, given that the Equinox was exactly a week ago.

But its original name is stems from the fact that it blossoms on/around St Michael's day - 29 September.

As in: today

And talking of St Michael the Archangel.

I've never much liked John Travolta but "I'm not that kind of angel" from "Michael" gets me every time...
