Hi All. A friend in Germany (western-central) has asked me if I can
possibly find out what the following flowers are he has growing at
the side of his drive - they appear every Spring apparently. The pic
he has emailed me isn't the best as it's not a close up, but still
maybe somebody can shed some light on what it is. Many thanks.

Looks like Ajuga reptans (Bugle) to me. Possibly a variety such as
"Caitlin's Giant", which is much bigger than the standard plant.

Read this after posting campanula and I think you may be right!! it does
look more like Ajuga
