Purple wildflower

14 years ago

Hi, I need help on the ID of this purple wildflower. Sorry i couldn't show you a shot of the whole flower. I was using a Canon MP-E65 lens and that's the smallest magnification available on that lens ie. 1X (life size).

Are you able to post a photo Kelli? Perhaps Joe Pye Weed, Liatris, or Ironweed.... I'll post a link to a website below that can help you identify it if you don't have a photo to post here. Here is a link that might be useful: Discoverlife Wildflower id.

Love this group! Hang around long enough and all those old "unidentifieds" will move out of that category. Found this a few years back (ok, maybe a lot of years now) on a hike, took some pictures, and always meant to try to find out its ID but never did. Thanks! FataMorgana
