Aster 'Little Carlow' (Aster)

My absolute favourite aster, always covered in flowers and never suffers mildew, and I think that's a Speckled Wood butterfly :-)

Thanks everyone :-)
Another I bought last year very similar to this but pink has its first flowers open today,' Les Moutiers ', can see its going to be another favourite as it has dark stems too :-)
