YES thats it !!! found this site from google images ... is exactly the conditions I found first specimen in ...
http://www.utahweed.org/weed_p... " Purple loosestrife is a European plant probably introduced to the United States as an ornamental" So that pretty much nails it ... confirms my suspicion its not from around here , definitely an ornamental ... woody root structure and seeds extremely small & black . Coordinates of finding is 42°21'40.7"N 88°49'31.3"W ... was not expecting it to be classified a european invasive escapee tho { but then I have Onopordum Acanthium - Scottish Thistle to counter the massive infestation of Bull Thistles in my area } ... but its definitly Lythrum salicaria ... a Purple Loosestrife cultivar . Many Thanks JRsbugs !!!
