I thought that the inside of the flower was so pretty that I would share some close-ups. These pics were not done in macro.

Ain't it sweet!, nice close-up Dawn!
I've just bought a heap of seed of this... I'll probably sow it tomorrow.

Very nice, I have a baby one, how old/big is yours?
A. asterias is my favorite Astro thus far. The plant body is splendid and their flowers are impeccable.{{gwi:478143}}{{gwi:478144}}Bill in SC
You have to love those little areoles on asterias, my gf thinks theyre cute!
The middle pic is especially nice. I am also partial to Astros, particularly asterias and it's hybrids.

Larry, my plant is 6 years old and is almost 3" in diameter.
Bill, Thanks for sharing. they sure do produce a beautiful flower.
Al, There is something about these plants that keep pulling me in. I will definately have to get more.
Another thing I like about them also, is that the flecking differs on all of them. My first flat of seedlings will be A. asterias..Bill in SC
