Question
Hi, I asked about the two similar asters: one white, one lavender. Here are a couple more pictures. The lavender one has basal foliage, as you'll see, but the white one doesn't seem to have any. (It's surrounded by miscellaneous leaves of dandelions, etc. Wish the pictures were better.) Thanks!
Answer
Dear Jbrine1, it is likely the one with purple ray flowers is Symphyotrichum cordifolium (heart-leaved American-aster) or a near relative. The individual with white ray flowers I still suggest as Symphyotrichum lanceolatum. Best wishes.
