(Wild?)flowe ID? Central Ohio

[Ron Hardin]

Found in weed-like location, possibly an escaped garden flower?

Ohio, a ball of 6-petalled blue flowers, grass-like basil leaves

Some hyacinth? (The bane of bicycling wildflower catalogers)

[The year's weed catch so far ]

Looks like an Allium, Ron. Smell garlic/ onion/shallot when you crush a leaf?

allium?

I have the same in my leek garden...yes Allium

[LavenderBee]

Here is another possibility: Agapanthus Here is a link to the Google image search for it...

the link doesn't work just go to Google, click images and type i agapanthus

It is a common garden plant around these parts, (Victoria, BC, Canada and is somewhat weedy, thriving on neglect. Thankfully it is easy t rid of, just dig up the rhizomes - it is a perennial though so chec again next year to see that you got it all. If its been around for years you can expect to see big clumps up to ten feet across so it ma take a bit of digging

If I recall correctly Allium aflatunense isn't the only Allium with globular heads of purple flowers.
