All asters are a symbol of patience and elegance. The ancient Greeks burned aster leaves to ward off both snakes and evil spirits. According to Greek mythology, when the god Jupiter decided to flood the earth to destroy the warring men, the goddess Astraea was so upset she asked to be turned into a star. Her wish was granted, but when the floodwaters receded she wept for the loss of lives. As her tears turned to stardust and fell to earth, the beautiful aster flower sprung forth.
