Vernonia gigantea
Purple flowers on top of 6 foot plant.
Wooded wetland.
I know, soooooo tall, right? There are no good photos of this plant in Wiki or EOL, I looked just the other day. Search in Google for a good image. And there are a number of Vernonia species in North America ... but your plant is most likely to be Giant Ironweed.
