I think this is Aster pilosus, a.k.a. Symphyotrichum pilosum. I looked it up ;-) Close to the very edge of my yard, almost buried under a shrub, and technically a weed.
Had the 36mm extension tube on.
Since I'm playing with tonemapping tonight I decided to use a little here. New toys are addictive ;-)
PP - qtpfsgui (default HDR conversion; tonemapping: pregamma 0.848, mantiuk method, contrast mapping 0.858, saturation factor 1.146, detail factor 6.9), opened in PI, cropped, white balance, increased saturation, shifted yellow/green greener, tinted one orangey patch a bit greener, decreased gamma to deepen color a bit more, resized, sharpened, blurred background noise, added border. |

| This is just lovely. I like the almost gray of the green background. Lovely DOF. The rich emerald stems make a nice linear statement. 8 |

| Pretty flowers, could have been sharper in focus to bring out the details better. |
