Welcome to GC Simon, this is the second plant in a matter of days that has got us stumped! Bear with us.

Spruce, I'm still working on the other one that's got us mystified.

 

Member of the Geranium family?

 

A wild guess, it's not the Pink Strawberry is it? I had one when I lived in Bucks in the 90s ...

 

It's not a Phacelia sp. is it? maybe Phacellia bolanderi?

it's the finished flower heads in the back which jogged something in my memory looks very similar to Phacellia tanacetifolia http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/threads/whats-this-blue-flowered-crop-please.14677/

 

Phacelia bolanderi it is. http://www.anniesannuals.com/plt_lst/lists/general/lst.gen.asp?prodid=3152 Thanks for taking the time to help me identify this; I'm familiar with the annual phacelia tanacetifolia as I grow it myself but didn't know there was a perrenial type. Also known as Bolanders scorpian weed as apparently the leaves can cause dermititus so I'd better be careful with it!

 

We can all sleep again soundly
