213/366: Veronica Speedwell: Purple Spiked Beauties
I had never seen flowers like these before and they totally stunned me with their dramatic color and presence. During the garden tour that Steve and I went on a few years ago in Ashland, we visited one home that really knocked our socks off. The size of their estate was huge and sprawled over several acres. Every inch was landscaped beautifully and planted with rainbows of flowers and interesting plants. I wish I could have spent the whole day at this garden, but I did manage to capture quite a few of the fantastic treasures that I found.

Explored on August 4, 2016, placement unknown.

I did say in Facebook that it looked similar to Purple Loosestrife - not now I've seen it more closely - it's a fantastic flower, but the name is not familiar to me I'm afraid. Wonderful photo with a great depth of field.
