    I sent you some pictures of this plant a month or so ago, before it came into bloom. I hope these pictures provide enough clues. Symphyothrichum whatchmacallitum? Thanks, Jula

    Answer

    Dear JuliaB, good morning. I do not recognize this species of Symphyotrichum. It is likely of hybrid origin, between a species with narrow leaves and one with cordate leaves. I would not be able to offer an identification without a specimen. If it is possible for you to collect and press one, let me know and I'll give you an address.
