birdsandbats 15 Oct 2019 The flowers are non-native Blue Sage - not hopeful for native plants from these photos...
Amphibiman 18 Oct 2019 Actually, wild blue sage is native to central and southern Illinois but is listed as a threatened plant species.

birdsandbats 18 Oct 2019 @Amphibiman Thanks! I didn't realize Blue Sage made it all the way to Illinois (the botany books I have usually say the west shore of the Mississippi is the most eastern extent of their natural range).
