It doesn't appear to be rare, just not in my Newcomb's Wildflower Guide where I can find it.

I don't know what it is, but I've got it growing here in Middle TN, full sun. Comes back every year.

Seems to be Miami Mist (phacelia purshii), I am informed.
There's an unfringed version understandably named ``phacelia dubia''
According to my "Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Wildflowers" it is called 'Fringed Phacelia". It's range is said to be Virginia to Alabama and it flowers in May & June. A very pretty little flower!!

lol - have you met Prunella vulgaris yet? One of my favorite names.
