Can anyone identify these flowers for me? They came in a mix from a
greenhouse I bought.

Many thanks



Try looking up Vipers Bugloss in a wild flower book. I think that is what
it is.

Is the flower spike quite right? See

I agree with you the curling flower stem is very like a member of the
borage/forget-me-not/comfrey family.
