Name That Plant!

Can you help ID this NA native plant?

Hi folks! Found this growing in a local nature preserve in upstate New York (zone 4b-5). I'd say the overall height was about 3 feet. Plant was just nearing peak bloom when the pic was taken in late August (though we did have an awfully late growing season due to an unusually dry spring). Any leads as to genus/species would be very much appreciated!

Thank you for your input! Flowers sure seem to put them in the genus, though I'm still hitting a road block on the species. Will have to keep searching!

Those are beautiful pictures, Randy! When I saw your pictures, the plant reminded me of a native plant that grows on my property in the bottom of the hollow where it's wet. Most of the plants have bloomed out, but I found one still in bloom - I had forgotten the name of the plant, so I looked it up, and it's pluchea foetida/stinking camphorweed. I've never seen any butterflies use the flowers, but then I don't go to the bottom of the hollow that often. The picture of pluchea purpurescens/salt marsh fleabane in my wildflower book looks just like your pretty pink flowers - I'm sure that's what yours is. Sherry

Well these look like bluets (Houstonia)...the particular species is left for you determine since you can see the plant itself and can answer questions.

Just wondering if it's an interesting native plant or something that will take over if I leave it alone. It's both.
