Flower or weed?

Ok this is growing in one of my flowerbeds. I have no idea if it's a flower I planted or a weed

It's pretty though. Any ideas?

Can't identify it without guessing...but let's call it a wild-flower! Very pretty color and nice spike-form. Will be watching to see what it is...

It almost looks like a a delphinium to me. But if not, its a very pretty weed.

I almost said Delphinium... if not, maybe a Larkspur? Other guess would be Baptisia. Can you post a photo showing more of the leaves?

The foliage, buds, and flowers look more like Veronica to me.

I'm with Chris for the veronica. I'm guessing the picture was taken very close to the flower...

It's too pretty to be a weed.

I think it's pretty too. I'll have to get a better pic of it. I plant so many things I have gotten from friends, I either forget the names or they never knew them

And I just stick them in the ground where ever they will fit!

No need to get a better picture. Chris was dead on with veronica.

I took pictures of my veronica (purple, rose and white). I wanted to share with you!
