(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.

Not sure but I think its a campanula (the species begins with p and has
an unreasonable amount of letters in it!)


Campanula polypopodopolous (Macedonian Bell Flower?)


Campanula poscharskyana?

Thats the one I was thinking of! but I have to say I can not rule out the
Ajuga suggestion although I think the flower colour and location seem not
quite right
