I believe this is a Physostegia Virginiana or Obedient plant flower, based on the leaf shape.
For Cee’s FOTD.

Morning Garden Walk: For FOTD Sep 1, 2022
I took a walk around the front of the house to find “a” photo for today’s FOTD. Kukla accompanied me (without invitation) and photobombed numerous shots, most of which I deleted. As usual, I had trouble making up my mind, so here are a “few” of the shots. Click on photos to enlarge.
I ended at the east gate to the backyard.

The plant guide says “Plant with caution!” Wish I’d read this nineteen years ago when I first received starters of these from my friend. They have spread everywhere!!!!! The flowers don’t last that long, but the tall plants pop up everywhere.

I started this post a few days ago and now have lost the prompt. It was basically to take closeups and then a matching more far-away scenic shot. I have the pics but not the prompt. If anyone knows the link, please share. Which do you prefer? Far away or close up?
