(Question)
We have a strange plant in our yard that we have not been able to identify. It’s growing in Richmond Hill (GTA) in sun. It just started to flower? in early October and produced the purple things at the top of the stalks. Any information you could provide would be welcome!

Thank you for your inquiry. Your photo is a bit fuzzy, making precise identification difficult. Our team thinks that the plant growing in your backyard is a type of Miscanthus grass, likely Miscanthus Giganteus (Floridulus) / Maiden Grass
