Rita,
 
I'll bet Aster pilosus is the plant at Dunbar, but I'll have to  go back 
and look at photos from that trip. There is another called Calico Aster  which 
has fewer petals, 9 - 14 according to TNPS guide.
Judging by the profusion of small white asters now I would hesitate to  
encourage them in the yard, maybe around the back edge. They do seem to need  
full sun.

Is this  what lines that little lake at Dunbar Cave? There are always 
skippers all over  it. I wonder if this takes over in the garden. Has anyone 
tried it?  


On another note, I have been compiling Cabbage White host plant notes for  
the book. I never knew there were so many mustards in TN!
