Loving the intrigue in how this plant forms!

Amazing 😍

Hi, your plant id? Is it like this one @christophrost?

Half way there!

#liatris

Beautiful

@plantaholic this is the top of one that has opened, they look hairy! They open from the top down! 😃

Help me identify this plant please #plantid

Very nice 😀🌿

Any of the leaves / move of the plant to help identify it?

Its quite tall so I'll need to go out and take another shot ... Thanks (i could get it all in)

Must be liatris by the look of those buds

I agree with @gardengimp that looks like liatris because they flower top to bottom

Agree it's liatris. I have heavy wet clay soil and it's does well.

Thanks all @Elaine.colville @nej @gardengimp ! Much appreciated! Good to know that it likes clay soil! Does it clump and spread?

It does @SylviaDavies , they grow from underground corms.
