This is called Spotted Knapweed, but I think that's an awfully ugly name for such a beautiful flower. Unfortunately, it is considered an invasive weed. Black Knapweed: black involucre below the flower head; usually no spreading rays Spotted Knapweed (above): short spreading rays, divided leaves Brown Knapweed: brown involucre below the flowerhead; long, showy spreading rays
