    Hi, this flower was spotted in a field on the Isle of Man today. I've looked in my wildflower book but can't figure out what it is. Any ideas? Thanks for your help :-)

        I agree with @Cinnamon - Greater Willowherb ... Epilobium hirsutum.

        Yes!!!! It is a great Willowherb! When I went back and looked in my book, I had missed it the first time because they're main photo of it appeared more purple. But that's definitely what it is! Thanks!!!!
