I think it's a cat's tail!

The plant is also very pretty - sorry, I don't know what it is.

The plant is Platycodon grandiflorus. They like well drained soil in sun. Mark the spot as they disappear soon after flowering and do not come back up again until late spring. If they set seed then they are very easy to grow from it. Indeed if suited they will happily self seed around the parent plant.

Thank you Owdboggy I told her someone would know any you have, many thanks for info.
Melchsedec the cat likes to get into every photo and usually does!

Couldn't resist that, Maezymare, sorry! It looks like a very pretty cat!
