Does it smell very sweet? It looks like a butterfly bush to me.. Nick

Hey Penny

Looks like a type of wild aster or southern prairie aster.

We have lots of native asters, but mostly white. They look like ugly weeds rising up in the woodland area by my house. But then they bloom with pretty bouquets of tiny white flowers. They really bring the fading woods garden back to life in the fall.
