Hi Katie! A formal welcome to ATP!

I believe it may be Conoclinium coelestinum or mistflower

I learned recently that you can make an insect repellent salve from this plant.

I just happened to recognize it. My cousin lives in San Antonio & has this in her garden & we were talking about it a couple years ago. She only knew the name as Mistflower so I had tracked it down. Maybe that's why it stuck in my head.

I wish I had some growing wild here!
