Agalinus sp.
Blooms in late summer and early fall, often in boggy or disturbed areas. These were blooming all around the edges of a practice field surrounded by scrubby trees, bushes and undergrowth. Most likely Agalinus purpurea, but I'm leaving the ID at the genus level for now.
Agalinis (false foxglove) is a genus of about 70 species in North, Central and South America. There are a couple of other Agalinis species this could be, still researching.

Thanks, Caysee ... they are lovely. And very prolific, enthusiastic bloomers, too.
These are really attractive flowers(use a hand lens). Delicate, won't last cut. Lower lip is spotted; arthropods use as a landing strip.
