The flower below is:

20cm tall (approx)
Not noticeably aromatic

http://nature.opcop.org.uk/eyren/flower2206.jpg

The location is not important as it grew from a packet of Suttons
Wildlife Garden Annual Mix sown in a container. The packet contains
"Cornflower, Corn Marigold, Poppy and other Wild Flowers"

This will be an 'other' then but it seems not to quite fit in with
descriptions in Blamey, Fitter, Fitter (or indeed with the earlier
Fitter, Fitter, Blamey)

Suggestions appreciated. I have two of my own but cannot agree with
myself, hence this post
Image is reduced in size but otherwise unedited so colour etc is 'as
is' on a cloudy but fairly bright day

Looks a bit like a red nettle, but the leaves don't seem hairy enough.

Thanks for your response.
That was one of my two options but it is described as pungent while
this is not.
My other option was Cut leaved dead nettle but it's the wrong colour.

Thanks for the response.
Indeed. I thought the Cut-leaved version but wrong colour.
The stem feels slighty rough but is not visibly hairy.
The leaves are, as you say, not very hairy.

It's one of the Lamiums
I think Henbit Dead-Nettle. (Lamium amplexicaule)

Isn't it some sort of dead nettle?

I would have said sweet-nettle, wikip says there's no such thing, but
that's what we called them as kids.

I think that was a generic term for most dead-nettles because one could
remove a flower and sip the nectar from it. Wikip is not to be relied
upon for anything really so no loss.

Thank you to everyone who took the trouble to help me.

After reading all responses and further research, the leading candidate is:

Cut-leaved Dead-nettle (Lamium hybridum)

The basis for this is primarily the ruling out of the other candidates.

There's a "cut-leaved" variant of red dead-nettle (Lamium purpureum var.
decipiens) to confuse the issue, but I'd go for cut-leaved dead-nettle.
It's definitely one of those two.

Just remember that when you buy these Wild flower mixtures you may be
getting non British seeds in the mix.
