Small spider in a flower
What's up with that black spot? I would have guessed Dictynidae before I saw that.

It's probably a very young spider which may make ID pretty tough unless you're willing to raise it.

In a flower
The color is Dictyna-like but that family doesn't like flowers.

The black dot was a glitch in processing. I replaced the image.

Dictyna-like
I don't know who says they don't like flowers. I find them on flowers all the time.... well usually on the leaf next to a flower, but they must move around right?

Mine don't like flowers
I find them on leaves of shrubs, not asters.
