I know the leaves are not right but it still looks foxglove like flowers to me

This feels like Ground Hog Day.....we are going round the same circle.

purplerallim.....I agree ....which is why I have already said that I believe it is in Plantaginaceae

Penstemon flowers but not that green at the bottom.

In a way they are slightly similar in that Penstemon flowers are tubular...however petal shape is different..inside stamens/stigma different.
Thanks for suggestion Lyn.

Penstemon pics below.

Just for those who may have lost the plot...here are pics of mystery flowers again...but pics trimmed.

Note flowers tubular.
Flower petals, central lip is not notched.
Stem not square...looks ridged..slightly hairy.

Help still needed! Please.

The emerging flowers resemble some kind of Mimulus , which are relatives of the Foxgloves .

Wish someone would get it right !

The flowers have the shape of those of a Lepechinia, but I have been unable to find exactly which...

Silver surfer · September 2018

I have not seen Lepechinia before...thank you DimWit for this suggestion.
Always good to learn a new flower.
I am not sure that we have found the perfect match yet ...but that is maybe warmer.

All Lepechinia appear to be from hot places.
The garden this was found in was at the edge of the Cairn Gorms...North/top end of Glen Clover, in Angus, Scotland....where it can get VERY cold in winter.

I was getting no where with this so posted it on Scottish Rock Gardening forums.
Within 30 mins I had the answer..... thanks to Maggi.

It is Horminum pyrenaicum.......comprising a single species.
Common names include Dragonmouth and Pyrenean Dead-nettle.

This species is native to the Pyrenees and Alps in western Europe.

Elizabeth Mcgregor is selling a beautiful form....
