New Sawtooth sunflower, Helianthus grosseserratus, and New England Aster, Symphyotrichum novae-angliae

 Sawtooth sunflower plants are from the Prairie planter at IU University. The caretaker didn't like the size of them, 10 feet tall!, so she dug them up. And the same for the New England Aster.  The Aster was a very late bloomer. Much later than the one I already have. I am hoping that it continues to be late and add more color to Fall plantings. 

I planted all of them in a row since it was hard to tell the species apart from just the stalks. About 30 plants total
