I love these "weeds" in the fall-they really brighten up the landscape at a time when most flowers are gone. I don't consider it a "weed", as it is a very beneficial pollinator. It was , apparently, named after a native American whose name was shorten in Wnglish to "Pye". Lots of stories about him.:

Pretty attractive for a 'weed' and I can imagine that many insects enjoy it, too.

Nice one.
They say that the only difference between a weed and flower is judgement....
