Amazing Asters

I can't seem to go wrong with close up shots of these asters. This one in near the Hanlon Creek Conservation Area.

The closest match in Forest Plants of Southern Ontario (aka my "bible" or at least the most well used book I own with dog eared pages and dirt - may have to do somewhat with where I use it). As a caveat - I'm trying to identify from a photo and I didn't get a good look at the leaves or stems for the purposes of identification. Oh - and the book describes it as a "highly variable species". So... who knows.
