A colleague of mine is trying to identify a flower that was seen in
County Donegal in August. Her father, a keen wildflower enthusiast,
has tried every book he has to identify it but has had no luck. It is
possible it has grown from seed from a cultivated plant in someone's
garden.

Can anyone shed any clues? One of the photos shows the flower head and
leaves, the other a closer view of the flowers.

Only the latter photograph was visible.

Try Phacelia tanacetifolia. According to Stace it occurs as a casual in
England and Wales.

Many thanks,
