This, Aromatic Aster (Symphyotrichum oblongifolium).

Native to some parts of central and eastern United States. Found in dry forests and woodlands. Insects that are attracted to the flowers include bees, butterflies and skippers. Butterflies and skippers seek nectar while bees also gather pollen.

The ultimate accent color for autumn, set against the warm colors of leaves in the process of change. I love to see it!
