Splendor in the Grass

On looking down from the walkway through Delta Ponds, I saw this display of beautiful flowers punctuated by the yellow dandelion to the side. I found it to be a pleasing composition. I don't know what the lavender flowers with the yellow center are. Can anyone help with the ID? I notice that some of the flowers that aren't fully developed have red in the center too.


A friend sent me a link with pictures of flowers just like these. They appear to be Smooth Blue Aster. Thanks Laura.

Naming a flower of the Aster ( Asteraceae ) family ( of which no doubt it is a member ) is very difficult. I believe there are over 30,000 of them but the amazing thing is they simple beauty and their ability to grow almost anywhere...often unexpected, but what a perfect picture they make and the dandelion that in my opinion should never be classed as a weed its so lovely. This needs to be printed and framed Vern, it's delightful V

a charming little scene...it could be daisy fleabane, at least it seems from aster family...the dandelion does make a good foil here..
