Is it in a greenhouse or outside? Shape of the flowers looks like campanula, but the leaves don't seem to match. Give us a clue.

Looks a bit like phycelia (spelling?) grown around here sometimes as game cover. Can't see enough of the leaves though - which is part of the game eh?

Ooh! I've had another look at this and I think that the flower might be in the geranium/pelagonium mould........

Am I any warmer, Paul?

Looks like the green manure thing of Californian origin, snake something or other, phacelia tanacetifolia. Had some once - was supposed to be PSB but grew up illeagle.
