Of all the Asters which we have grown, Frikartii Monch stands out as one of our favourites.

Frikartii Monch was reintroduced in our garden again in 2013, picture above shows it in early Autumn.
In spite of the numerous wider angled pictures which I took of Frikartii this time around, none of them were fit to
