    Edit - scrub this, it's Aster Ostrich Feather, but unknown to me an Antirrhinum had grown in among the Aster's foliage ........

    Yes, I'm an idiot. :-)

    Penstemon or Salvia perhaps?

    Edit: Or one of the Campanula family.

      Thanks very much for the suggestions but I'm afraid it's neither of those. I'll have to take a photo tomorrow.

              Delighted mystery has been solved!
              My father always grew those Asters..about 50 years ago...lovely colours, they make fab cut flowers.

              Aster Ostrich Feather, - Recherche Google

              No idea where broad feather leaf comes into the equation?
              Pic showing leaves is below.

              Patience....it is too early..I think of them as flowering in late summer / autumn.
