The New England Aster is one of my favorite wildflowers.

I like them because they appear in late summer and into the fall.

The New England Aster petals folded up like this give the flowers a different type of look.

Normally the petals are extended out to the sides from the yellow center.

Focusing on the center with the petals protruding forward creates more depth to the image.
