Ok I have a mystery flower and has shown up since my family started gardening here so about 3 to 4 years. I like the flowers very much but always wondered what the name of the plant could be I don't see it in garden centers so I am wondering if the lady that lived here befor us added it to her garden and was left behind along with her purple violets.

Have a great day.

If they are invasive they are Creeping bellflower (Campanula rapunculoides).
They grow to 2 to 4 feet tall. The 'creeping' refers to why they are invasive.

Wow thanks so much for answering my question I am glad to know what it is and wont feel so bad when I pull some of it out from time to time.

I do like the flowers on it though so I will still keep some just have it under control as much as possible
