Aromatic Aster


September 21, 1804

We found a new flower today at the big bend on the Missouri River.  It has a sweet smell and I was surprised by its design.  The stem of the flower is  about 20 inches.  It has narrow peddles which meet at the canter, a yellow ball of pollen.  I counted around 30 peddles.  The peddles and stem  have small hairs that feel rough at the touch.

  1. Great entry! I think maybe it would be better if you edited it, and checked the spelling.
