The blossom is pale lilac, with a yellow central disk.

The leaves clasp the stem, and their edges are smooth or almost imperceptibly toothed.

I think it's a Smooth Aster. They normally grow as high as four feet, but this particularly one has been run over by a brush mower a couple of times during the summer.
I've previously identified two other varieties of lilac-colored asters. Not sure if I'm right about any of these.
