    Answer

    Dear Ervin, you have photographed a species of Agalinis (agalinis), a native member of the Orobanchaceae. You likely have either Agalinis paupercula or A. neoscotica. I would not be able to assist further without careful measurements to distinguish these two species. Hopefully knowing it is one of those two species will allow you to finish the identification.
