Tahoe wildflowers. Still sifting through the many wildflowers I photographed during my trip to Tahoe in July. These Asters grew all along a section of the trail through the Meiss Meadows.
I'm calling them Asters but the hundreds of North American species of Aster bar one have been reclassified as different species (though they are still grouped as members of Asteraceae family). I don't know what these were when they were Asters and I don't know what they are now they're something else. So I'll stick with what is still their common name: Asters.
