Vernonia baldwinii

Also known as Baldwin's ironweed

Ironweed got its name from being very fibrous and hence tough to pull or cut. It is also very bitter and cattle won't eat it.

Nice composition with the skipper in mid-sip. I really like the dark triangular bit of background framing the main flower and butterfly.
