Found in weed-like location, possibly an escaped garden flower?
Some hyacinth? (The bane of bicycling wildflower catalogers)
Looks like an Allium, Ron. Smell garlic/ onion/shallot when you crush a leaf?

Looks like Allium aflatunense Purple sensation AKA Persian onion, ornamental onion

Thanks, all. I can update the catalog with the ID.
allium?
I have the same in my leek garden...yes Allium
Here is another possibility: Agapanthus Here is a link to the Google image search for it...
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.
Looks like something in the onion family, allium.
