China aster
🌼 extraña = the strange one: an aster from far-off China, a stranger in Spain
Etymology: extraña is the feminine of extraño (strange, foreign), from Latin extraneus, meaning from outside. The China aster came to Europe from China in the 1700s, so the flower was named the foreign one. Same root as English strange and extraneous.
