This aster grows along the eastern shore of Northamerica from Ontario to Florida in all kinds of wetlands. In European waterplant nurseries however it is rarely available. It grows on soils that are wet or temporarily flooded and may form large populations. Sometimes the stalks can`t bear their own weight and do fold up in a zigzag way. Recently this plant was renamed by botanists and know its correct name is Symphyotrichum puniceum [(L.) Á. Löve & D. Löve var. puniceum].

The Doll`s Daisy is an example that plants can be endangered not only in densely populated Europe but also in regions you wouldn`t expect. In the past this plant grew widely along the shores of River Illinois and the Mississippi, for hundreds of kilometers it could be found. Today it is very rare in its former range. The Doll`s Daisy needs wet soils or shallow water without mud to germinate. Both situations became extremly rare after the rivers were trained and so the plant is almost extinct in its former home.

Here is a plant for all those who dislike botanical names. It got just one common name in English, and this name is taken from Maori: Purei. Much easier to remember than Carex secta - isn`t it? As the name indicates Purei comes from New Zealand. There it grows in swamps of the southern island and can be found almost everywhere.
