Collected in 1932, this China Aster represents a flower that traveled far beyond its origins. Native to China and introduced to European gardens in the eighteenth century, the China Aster quickly became a favorite among gardeners for its abundant blooms and remarkable range of colors. By the early twentieth century, it was a cherished cottage garden flower, admired for bringing vibrant beauty to late summer borders when many other flowers had begun to fade.
Carefully pressed and preserved nearly a century ago, this specimen captures the delicate structure and enduring appeal that made the China Aster one of the most beloved ornamental flowers of its time. A lovely example of botanical preservation, it offers a glimpse into both horticultural history and the timeless practice of collecting and studying plants.
Available framed or unframed, allowing it to be enjoyed as preserved or displayed within a custom botanical frame.
