Lobelia
Purple Wildflowers...Lobelia siphilitica, perhaps?
Large areas of open, native prairie grasslands. In direct sunlight and fairly close (within one city block) to fresh water sources
I have never noticed a fragrance coming from these tiny, purple blooms and seldom see them covered in bees but I'm sure something must be pollinating them. Blooms are about the size of a woman's fingernail, from cuticle to tip, in length and perhaps as wide as her ring-finger.
Kerry W and SarahHiteWhitt-Thank you for your help identifying this pretty wildflower! :-)
