Harvest Star

Harvest Star Asters wear a coat - yellow, white or blue Elegant wish of faith perennial, Autumn decorations on garden avenues - From fall festivals or centennials - Charming harvest star winking through the dew. Two legends born upon Greek shores Tell the story of bright Aster's birth - Tears of a goddess - star shaped flowers born - Or stardust sprinkled upon the earth Where Asters bloom forevermore. 11-20-20 Contest: Quintain - Sicilian Sponsor: Emile Pinet Thank you Susan for your inspiration! 11-20-20
