Meet Aster novae-angliae - commonly known at the New England Aster.
This native plant grows all-over around here in sun, shade and moist spots. A late bloomer it really shows-off when autumn rolls-around. We included it in our prairie seed mix decades-ago. And now it is found absolutely everywhere.
The coloring can range from white to blue although ours generally are pink to purple with variations of blue-violet in between.
It's a terrific nectar plan and I've been busy photographing many of the bees and butterflies paying it a visit
