Sarah, all my google results didn't bring me to anything that was that pretty. I am so glad that you found it out what it was. You plan on keeping it around, don't you? Did you plant it or did a bird do you a favor? It fits right in with that beautiful cottage garden look that you have going on...

I've seen those all over in the woods but never knew the name before. (Must be a wildflower, huh?) They look like a tall version of Verbina, don't they?  Pretty! Anything purple is pretty!
