it's about a metre tall and the flowers that are developing are a pinky purple colour, and have no obvious smell. Thank you!

    I think it is Liatris, or Gay Feather.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Looks like Liatris to me Shelley. Spikes of purply mauve, slightly plumper at the top than the bottom (rather than the 'candle' spikes of Veronicas) Bees love it!

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Agree on Liatris.

    Thanks all! It's growing in my mum's garden and she didn't know what it is. Thank you image
