      Campanula? Not sure which type, though! My favourite plant.

      Thanks Clueless, but no, it's definitely not a geranium. :)

          Yes it is, thanks Silver Surfer. Because there are so many different shades of blue/mauve it's difficult to work out which one it is, I'm not bothered though, it's stunning when it's in bloom. :)
