Photo of the Week: Purple Dragon Hybrid Aster

Dragon Hybrid Aster

Imagine a mound of violet-blue flowers with orange-yellow centers that blooms continuously from early September through November, often retaining their blooms after the first light snow.

That’s why I enjoy the purple Dragon Hybrid Aster.

The low-mounding perennial, less than two feet tall, provides stunning intense color in the fall that contrasts with the Kelvin Floodlight Dahlias planted behind it.

I’ve had the Dragon Hybrid Aster in my garden for years and love to see the honeybees come by to drink nectar on sunny fall days.

Raspberry-colored medium-sized bird perches on edge of green bird feeder.

“Wait a minute,” I said to my husband as I peered at the feeder in our side yard this weekend.

Photo of the Week: Detroit Memorial Drive at Belle Isle

By Leave a Comment

Hundreds of photo posters line Belle Isle State Park in a memorial drive.

Vehicles moved slowly along the roads of Belle Isle State Park in Detroit this past week, as people paid their respects to Detroiters.

Detroit Memorial Drive, organized by Rochelle Riley, City of Detroit Arts and Culture Director, was created to honor Detroit victims of COVID-19.

Over 900 photos of Detroiters provided by family members were made into posters, which were staked on one side of the perimeter road and then both sides of the interior roads.

The 900+ photos represent more than 1,500 Detroiters who died from COVID-19.

It was a somber, heartbreaking drive to see photos of people I know, ministers I’ve heard preach, couples smiling at each other, community leaders, and police officers.
