They're probably our most prevalent butterfly several months of the year. They absolutely love that mistflower!

We have a variety of blue mistflower that grows all over the yard, but it doesn't look quite like that. And of course I didn't take any pictures of it this year. The butterflies love it though.

I found some still blooming by the woods when I was watering! My app says it is just blue mistflower or also called wild ageratum.

Picture This Plant ID. I love it! It isn't accurate 100% of the time, but it is more often than not. It's helped me ID all the various things on our property. I also use it to verify plants on the clearance rack at Lowe's when they've managed to lose all the tags. It's free to use, but does have a paid option. I used the paid for a few months and you can store plant info and a few other things, but I found that I really only needed the ID part which is free.
