"...of wandering forever and the earth again...of seed-time, bloom, and the mellow-dropping harvest. And of the big flowers, the rich flowers, the strange unknown flowers."
Was North Carolinian Thomas Wolfe thinking of this strange unknown flower when he wrote the above line in “Of Time and the River”?
I do not know. I also do not know what the strange and unknown flower truly is?

Looks like Lilac blossom to an ignoramus like me. Brightens up a dull day whatever.
It is an invasive plant, that blooms in late fall. It is in the knotweed family, commonly called Mexican bamboo. The blooms are first white, but turn pink and then red. The stems can be cut and the leaves removed to give a everlasting flower. It is a native of Japan.
