    Hi folks,

    can you identify this plant? I hope, this one pic would be enough as there are the flower and the stems etc. are visible.

    I checked your suggestions, and I am pretty sure, it's one of the genus Symphyotrichum. Thank you for your help :-)

    Are all perennial Asters in the genus Symphyotrichum now?

    AFAIK, asters of the Old World still belong to the genus Aster. But I am not very keen in systematics news.

    Thank you for the reply. If so, what make you think that it is Symphyotrichum and not Aster (genus)?

    Symphyotrichum..is just a very fancy new Latin name for what I have called Asters all my life!
    Before that I used to know it as Michaelmas daisy.
    Wonder what they will be called in the future.

    Is that really important, why I was guessing in that particular case, that this plant could be a Symphyotrichum? That was just a guess!
    I have grown some classical European Asters and a few Symphyotrichums. To me this photo just looks more like a Symphyotrichum, particulary a Smalle aster (Symphyotrichum lanceolatum). I may be wrong, of course.
