improbable things

this is a liatris in all its glory, and something else :-) 

an impressive visitor of the garden, black-bluish, huge and making a motor-like sound like a plane!

liatris

i hadn't even heard of this flower, my mom stumbled upon a bulbs offer at the supermarket and bought them for me. they should come back year after year, getting more spikes, this summer they only have one each.
