Blue Mistflower (Conoclinium coelestinum) is a fairly common flowering plant found throughout the eastern half of the United States.

It's a medium sized bush with triangle leaves, topped by the small clusters of purple blooming flowers.

It's one of three species in the Conoclinium genus of the aster family, and the flowers attract both butterflies and bees.
