Quite a few Rauparaha's copppers observed flying in warm sunshine, late morning, on steep riverside bank, native and adventive scrub. were feeding on a purple flower - what is it?

Flying in company with several common coppers and an occasional glade copper. This is the third locality in the Geraldine hills where I have observed this. Boulder coppers present on the river flats also.
