It's an Allium. Aren't they pretty? I have a lot of those in my garden, I love them. Beautiful photo!
Yes! Allium-cousin of the garlic. We have them all over in a lovely lavender shade. Some have giant heads like the size of a baseball. Around here they have already come and gone. I'm on Long Island so it's curious why yours are like that now. Maybe they were planted too early here???
Lovely plants.
Yup, it's a member of the Allium family.
All I could think about when I saw that flower was all those seeds about ready to pop out and spread. I have garlic chives all over my back yard since I thought the flowers were so pretty and I did not cut them down before the seeds matured.

Liz, does your yard smell like garlic when you mow the grass?
I love this pincushion flower picture.

Beautiful photo!! Yes, allium! I have one in blue.
I think I might have recognized it as allium if it had it's purple flowers, but in this bald state it looked unfamiliar. (Except as a pincushion!)
