Backyard Plant ID: Asters



So there was this one low bushy plant in the middle of our backyard that we had no idea what it was.... that was until about 2 weeks ago, when it started blooming!



The plant has these GORGEOUS little purple flowers, they almost look like daisies of some sort.  Someone told me that it could be some sort of Aster, so I went online and did a bit of Googling....

From my online research, I'm guessing this could be New England Asters (a.k.a. Michaelmas Daisy)
