Chuck, the New England Asters pictured are wildflowers and are untamed as opposed to the asters normally available which have been bred for short stature., The ones pictured are around 5 ft in height and probably 4 ft across arising from multiple stems. To combat their tendancy to flop, one is contained in a quite large circular tomato cage, the other by twine and steel rebar. The third, unfettered, is intertwinned with and laying over a stand of blackberry lilies, perilla, and nicotiana.
Leslie, the goldenrod is, I believe, the tall goldenrod, Solidago altissima, another prairie wildflower which grows to 7 feet tall. Most goldenrods are but 3 or 4 ft tall.
