Early fall color along Dunkard Creek at the Mason-Dixon Historical Park. Most notably, broadleaved goldenrod (Solidago flexicaulis), also known as zig-zag goldenrod, is now in bloom. This is one of my favorite wildflowers of any season - it grows in gorgeous clumps with brilliant gold flower spikes and broadly-ovate, sharply serrated foliage. It’s better behaved than most goldenrods and is ideal for a bright pop of autumn color in a native wildflower garden.

From top: broadleaved goldenrod, one of two species in this area with flowers growing from the leaf axils; blue wood aster (Symphyotrichum cordifolium), a common woodland aster that blooms right up to the first frost; garden phlox (Phlox paniculata), also known as tall phlox and fall phlox, a tall, wetlands-loving perennial that blooms from July through early October in Central Appalachia; sneezeweed (Helenium autumnale), which loves the marshy edges of ponds, lakes, and streams; short’s aster (Symphyotrichum shortii), a woodland aster with a special fondness for limestone bluffs.

Symphyotrichum cordifolium and Symphyotrichum undullata are very similar wood asters.

It makes it difficult to explain these species unless you have them right next to each other. My opinion on both of them in keys is that they may be the most frustrating species to get delineate. For this one I really had to ask a legitimate expert for trick tips. This is the answer from him:

“Well, as I have said, plants don’t read books and this is one of those times when you really just have to practice to get small non direct qualitative morphological features in order to really get to know them. Start with Symphyotrichum cordifolium that should retain a smaller winged petiole of similar size and a more cordate leaf on all leaves, If you are looking at the Symphyotrichum undulatta, the leaves are not always cordate and many of the cordate ones have a wider petiole with taper getting a larger wing at the base of the leaf where it connects to the node, they don’t always undulate either and the Symphyotrichum cordifolium doesn’t always have perfect teeth or flattened leaves, plants are allowed to be depauperate.” -Dr. M. A. Vincent.

Here we have a very robust S. undullata growing in Clifton Gorge, SNP, Greene co. Upper ridge. The plants behind it are bluestem goldenrod, Solidago caesia

15 New ID's While Mushroom Hunting

15 New ID’s While Mushroom Hunting

Arisaema dracontium (Green Dragon) on 4-23-20, #690-2.

Hello everyone! I hope this post finds you all well. Thursday… What an afternoon! It had rained earlier and I was itching to go mushroom hunting for Morels. It had been cloudy but it started clearing off in the afternoon so I decided to go to try out the woods on a friend’s farm. Now, I would mention his name and the location but you know I…

Symphyotrichum cordifolium

Symphyotrichum cordifolium *previously known as Aster cordifolius Common Names: Blue wood-aster, broad-leaved aster, heart-leaved aster Phonetic Spelling: sim-fy-oh-TRY-kum kor-dih-FOH-lee-um (personal mnemonic: “symphyo-” symphony, yo -> groupings of “-trichum” tricorn hat-> feathers-> hairy flowers, “cordifolium” cord -> yarn -> red heart yarn ->heart leaves)

The clearest identifiers of this plant are its pale purple-blue flowers, toothed heart-shaped leaves (commonly at the base of the plant, with ovate leaves near the top), and a height between 2 and 5 feet. It blooms in the late summer (August - September), and flowers open with yellow centers that turn redder over time (this specimen is at the very end of its flowering season).

Symphyotrichum cordifolium is native to the eastern to central U.S. and Canada. It is somewhat weedy and thrives in woodlands, meadows, and stream banks. You can distinguish this plant from other asters by its broad, heart-shaped leaves (compared to the more arrow-shaped leaves of other asters) and the less dense flowers with hairier centers. The flowers attract pollinators and the seeds are eaten by birds and other wildlife. This plant is not palatable to humans.

Preferred growing conditions:

Moist to dry well-drained soil

Full Sun to Part-Shade

Zones 3-8

These photos were taken in Boston’s Mission Hill Neighborhood on November 8th 2020

Dreary weekend in NC-WV, but once I got over my hangover from the WVU-Texas Tech game this morning, I managed to sneak in a quick fall hike on the Virgin Hemlock Trail in Coopers Rock State Forest. The asters are out in force and quite beautiful this fall. Among them are (from top): purplestem aster (Symphyotrichum puniceum); frost aster (Symphyotrichum pilosum), also known as awl aster; calico aster (Symphyotrichum lateriflorum); and blue wood aster (Symphyotrichum cordifolium).

PERENNIAL: Symphyotrichum cordifolium (Blue Wood or Heart-leaved Aster)

Tried and True Native Plant Selections for the Mid-Atlantic

Formerly classified as Aster cordifolius, this native, found along forest edges and ledges in the eastern half of North America, would be a welcome addition in a residential shade garden.…

Heart-leaved "Aster" (Symphyotrichum cordifolium) [OC][1077x1918]

There is a clump of somewhat blue tinted tops of plants in the background that belongs to the

Common Blue Wood Aster

Symphyotrichum cordifolium,

although it’s a common sight along the majority of open woodlands and forest edges everywhere in the eastern half of the United States, it’s still fun to see a large colony in bloom in the numbers that should be represented. Where I live in Cincinnati, our edge habitat and open woodland is now inundated with invasive bush honeysuckle, Lonicera maackii, which prevents any large clusters from being able to colonize in large numbers. The sad truth is that Cincinnati, minus the well stewarted parks and private land, has lost most of it’s valuable mid summer and late summer flora and pretty much all of its edge habitat. The ignored need for invasive removal is starting to make even the usually common species uncommon.

Photographed along a logging road section in Red River Gorge, Kentucky.

One of the many woodland Symphyotrichum spp. This one is blue flowering, occurs with cordate foliage, leaf section is not offset cordate closer to the petiole like Symphyotrichum urophyllum, and this one is also not aggressively dentate like S. cordifolium or Euribia divaricatus; the Euribia spp. is called white wood aster too, so it may help the issue with coloration of flower. Instead what we have here is Symphyotrichum drummondii, or Drummond’s blue wood aster, and upland wood aster, known for karst preference or dry oak upland forest.

Here it’s along an semi exposed dolostone area with ferrous parental top soil (iron rich clay), growing in sympatry( together) with Solidago flexicaulis (Zig Zag goldenrods), at Clifty Falls State Park, IN.
