Their yellow center makes the surrounding petals stand out even more \u2014 the contrast enhances their beauty. Each sturdy stem carries a large flower head surrounded by long, narrow petals that give the aster its signature look.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1115\" data-end=\"1145\"><strong data-start=\"1119\" data-end=\"1145\">Symbolism of the Aster<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1147\" data-end=\"1363\">Want to wish someone a long and happy life \u2014 or give your grandmother a joyful boost?

There used to be an impressive 600 species, but by the end of the last century, this number was refined to about 250, divided among several genera.
