Pickeralweed

Pickeralweed
I have known this plant for several years.  I thought sure that I had photographed it but cannot locate it.  It has purple spiked flowers.  It is a perennial growing from rhizomes as well as seeds.

Need I say that it is an aquatic plant?  It has a species of bee, Dufourea novaeangliae, which exclusively visits this plant.  It grows around the large pond in the shallows.
