Hi! I was wondering if anyone could identify this flower for me; I desperately need to know the name so I can conduct research for an upcoming biology lab. Here's the description:

- Very thin purple leaves, yellow middle
- diameter ranges from about 1 to 4cm
- Thrived among weeds & other wild flowers
- Found on trail leading to local park (not in a garden)
- Many flowers found to branch off of one large stem, which was relatively thick)
- No thorns
- Some are quite tall; a little less than a metre
- Note: the white flowers to the right and large, weed-like leaves at the bottom of the picture are not part of the plant

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Appears to be Aster oblongifolius

My first thought was Aster also.
