I see them around The Villages...not even sure if they are the same flower.

They look purple to me.

Thank you.....(looking for a purple flower to plant in back yard)

Agapanthus or Lily of the Nile. Looks like the dwarf version. The come in purple or white flowers.

Society garlic (tulbaghia violacea). Read about it below:

Yep, garlic. Supposed to keep the snakes away.

The flowers in the upper picture are Phlox. Those are wild, but you can buy them for your yard.

Phlox

Society garlic. Quite attractive and hardy, but they do have a garlic scent

I use the phone app PlantSnap and it's free! Just take a pic, and it will be identified.

Agapanthus in the foreground. A form of wild phlox in the background.

Might look like, but it's not agapanthus.

Thanks for heads up on the wildflowers being phlox.

Garlic. When the landscapers trim them back the whole neighborhood smells like garlic!
