Weed Identification?
I was taking a short walk at my village and suddenly amidst the light colored fields, I see a bright, purple tall flower! I was so surprised that I went immediately to take a shot - but - alas! A dog start barking at me so I got scared and moved away fast!
(there are many people leaving dogs in locked / fenced fields so that it can protect their property in case of an intruder)
...
I continued my walk and I entered a place that I have never visited before. And guess what I found. The same weed :))
I liked it so much that I took many photographs, planning also to upload some of them at my pexels account (you can download high resolution some of my shots here CC0 licensed)
Here it is among other weeds, so that you can understand how tall it was (approximately 1 meter)

And a close up
I am sure that during a sunny day many butterflies and pollen eating insects will be residing here :) Let's see if I can go and take some more shots in the near future!
p.s. Doing a reverse image search on google I found that it may be this one

but I am not sure - if anyone can help, feel free to drop me a line below :)
