    Hi: Any thoughts on a species ID for this aster...growing in a field, up to 4 ft. high. Thanks

    Answer

    Dear JMP, it is hard for me to be confident without a close-up image of the involucral bracts, but it appears you have photographed Symphyotrichum pilosum (awl American-aster), a native species of open habitats. Best wishes.
