    Hi all, I posted this plant a while ago and we didn't have much luck IDing it.
    I left it where it was (its growing in a pot so not in the way) and it has now flowered so I thought I'd try again :)

    Any thoughts??

      Hi Amymac,.
      It's a Lychnis Chalcedonica ( common name is Maltese Cross).

      It's a lovely perennial which will when it's older have lovely round flower heads.
