My California Giant Asters are also starting to bloom slowly. So far I have seen a dark frilly pink like your but darker pink and a bright pink with bright yellow center and a pale pink one like the one shown. I wonder what else will come up :)

I saw these at Dr AYKhan house. These asters were much bigger and erect than the normal asters. And instead of so much height, they were not leggy.

I don't know if the asters will be true from seed but if so I'll have lots of seeds to share when the season is over. I thought they'd be spring blooming but have only started blooming now that the weather is really warming up!
