9.19.16 Nestled into closed blossoms

An enormous old Aster I've had for maybe 12 years, from a roadside stand , 
they are about 6' high and 5' across, bound up so as not to break. 

Besides the lettuce gone to seed and the broccoli and cauliflower flowering, 
and the wild asters, it's the last pollinator food before the last frost. 

A favorite of the Praying Mantis, as breakfast consists of a bunch of sleepy bees
 nestled into closed blossoms.
