What is this lovely purple flower.

In a friends garden in Marysville. WA

 

For best results include a view of the entire plant

 

Is this a top-down photo? (taken from directly above the plant?)

 

This picture was forwarded by a friend so I'm not sure of the angle. I have requested an overall photo but not received anything yet.

 

Melampyrum of some sort?

 

Here is a new photo. much more familiar in this view. I would guess some sort of Agastache?

 

Yes, agreed: Agastache

 

Thank you.
