      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. :heehee:

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

        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!
