Calico Aster (Aster vimineus) in October at Salem Town Forest in Salem, New Hampshire

Another fall bloomer is this small-flowered species of Aster, probably Calico Aster (Aster vimineus). It is tough to identify, with another common name (Small White Aster) and other scientific names (Aster lateriflorus, Symphyotrichum racemosum and Symphyotrichum lateriflorum). Nontheless, it is pretty with its color scheme of green, white, pink and yellow.
