ID please? (part 4)

Another one that hasn't quite opened, but I can't identify it

 

Not the best photo so I'll say either Aconitum or Delphinium.

 

I'll try and get a better photo, and also maybe see what the flowers look like once they're open thanks for the two suggestions, certainly gives me a starting point regardless!

It's come out in flower now, I've still not got a clue!

 

It think it looks like Delphinium Elatum.

 

?? Isn't Delphinium Elatum Pink GA??
I'm thinking it looks like a mallow ??
I thought the first picture was an Aconitum??

Thanks Annie I think it's 'Pink Sensation' after finding the Delphiniums in my flower book the picture in my book isn't that clear; there are watercolour pictures of the flower clusters, and the photo isn't a close one and the flowers are all white and blend into each other! Maybe I need a better flower book

 

I don't have mallows in my book! I need a better book. The leaves look like weed leaves, the flowers are about the size of a 50p piece

 

I agree with Jenny that it could well be a Mallow, perhaps the Musk Mallow moschata ... it's the leaves that gives it away... long, thin and serrated, then 'fingered' ...

Edit: Take a look at the leaves here ...

We have them growing wild here and they were lovely in the Spring but I usually see them with the big 'roundish' leaves by the time I notice them.

 

Jenny is right, the plants in the two photographs are different. The first is possibly Aconitum napellus and the pink flower looks like Sidalcea malviflora.

 

Hmm, I am wondering whether I've got these mixed up... It's so tightly packed in that flower bed! Either way, they need identifying thank you

 

First and second pictures are of the Mallow ... it just so happens that an Aconitum is in the background of the second picture ... well, that's my opinion!

 

A two-in-one identifier!

 

So which does the closely packed flower spike belong to?
