Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Blazing Star

I know nothing about garden plants, but I think I'm right when I say that this is probably some kind of Blazing Star. It was growing at Reader Rock Garden around the middle of August. Later: thanks, George, for the ID, Liatris spicata (Blazing Star). Much appreciated! I have just replaced the original, more distant photo with a closer crop - thanks, Stephen, for the suggestion.
