The asters are very hard to differentiate, but this is likely #Symphyotrichum (#Aster) ciliolatum, fringed blue aster, at the Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre https://www.nkmipdesert.com

Scale-leaf Aster (Symphyotrichum adnatum) is native to the southeastern United States. This species hosts the Pearl Crescent (Phycoides tharos) and American Lady (Vanessa virginiensis) butterflies and is hardy in zones 8-11. In a garden, it likes full sun and well-drained soil.
