Conclinium/Blue Mist Flower

It looks like Conoclinium coelestinum and it is native to Tennesee and most of the East of the country from Texas and Nebraska to the Atlantic. GREAT butterfly attracter. It is a bit of a thug in the garden so give it ROOM to expand if you are planting it otherwise you will grow to not like it. It is not a good plant for a small garden.

I found the name: Pearcea hypocyrtiflora Here's a link with more pictures: http://www.gesneriads.ca/pearcea.htm This diminutive rhizomatous plant has very attractive and colorful foliage, as well as unusual brilliantly red flowers. The lobes of the flowers do not open except under optimum conditions. The flowers are probably hummingbird pollinated. They grow in colonies in tropical rain forests. Thanks, Joe Here is a link that might be useful: More info and pictures about this plant

Thank-you Eric. Will try and save some to give them a good home in my bed with the other rain lilies.

It doesn't over winter this far north, but usually will reseed to some extent. A very very nice plant to have in a wildflower garden.
I started mine this year and didn't get them into the garden until July. They grow very rapidly once they get a start and are fully mature now and blooming-until end of October usually.
