Wild Purple Flower ID

There are numerous flowers with multiple stems growing 6 or more feet tall in our yard and adjacent field. There are literally beautiful. Can't ID them with Google. No doubt the experts here will know what these beauties are. Thanks.

The following link says what you have is Ironweed.

Ironweed (Verbena noveboracensis) is commonly seen along roadsides and ditches across Tuscaloosa County. It grows up to 7 feet tall with clusters of tiny, dark purple flowers. Blooms July-September.

Well let's see.....The top attachment is your pick, the bottom is mine, but something is wrong......And that's what threw me.

The scientific name under your pix link says it's a Verbena noveboracensis, when it should be Vernonia noveboracensis.

Here's a link to yours.. PLANTS Profile for Vernonia noveboracensis (New York ironweed) | USDA PLANTS

Then to mine..PLANTS Profile for Vernonia baldwinii (Baldwin's ironweed) | USDA PLANTS

Your right, everything matches up.....Darn You only beat me be 43" If I only wasn't helpin' eddie out back with his bi-plane, it'd been closer
