Thanks Don. I bought this plant at my garden clubs
plant sale. I was told it was a gas plant so wanted to
do a little research on it. However it must not be a
gas plant because it is not matching the pictures I
found on my web search. I'm not very good at
describing things but I will give it a try. It is
blooming now and the tallest flower stalk is as high
as the top of the chain link fence. The flowers are
white with a hint of purple. They are a ball shape
similar to an allium. But the leaves are not strappy
like alliums. I can't see the leaves clear enough from
the patio window so not 100% sure.LOL
I have another plant that is a mystery to me but am
running late so will describe later.
