searched for a long time and couldn't figure it out. Google reverse image search came up with lupus, lavender, and allium. These images had similar colors, but the leaves and flower petals were different.

I am stumped.

I got nowhere using Google reverse image search, too. I need to ask my wife. She knows much more about the plants in our yard than I do.

I asked. It turns out she didn't know what it was, either. It's some perennial planted by the previous owners of our house or maybe even the original owners who had it built.

Just came across the same plant (or highly similar) in my father's garden. He still had the price tag:

So Blazing Star, Liatris spicata.

At a retail price of $7.95, @markkujantunen you might have just stumbled upon a pot of gold haha. In today's market, you could buy 29 HIVE or one perennial. Or you can do both!
