Note: I saw this plant in the Ozarks in Arkansas. Anyone have an idea what it is? It looks kind of familiar but I can't put a finger on it.

Yes. I took one look and didn't need another. Man, are they pretty!

Nice, I'm only familiar with the purple variety. That's cool to see a really unique color on such a nice looking flower.

Don't remove the caterpillars when they start to eat it. This plant is food for the Monarch's!! :0)
