The fluffy seed heads of Aster linosyris
(goldilocks, goldilocks aster) a British native herbaceous perennial were catching the sunlight. It grows on the shallow soils in open, grassy habitats on limestone sea-cliffs, and cliff-top grasslands. It is a poor competitor, and is usually intolerant of heavy grazing, here it was thriving in an island bed at Cambridge Botanic Garden, UK.
