    Could it be Honesty?

    I think it's one of the Malva family, possibly Lavatera arborea (Tree mallow)
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    I agree with @BobTheGardener - looks mallow-y to me. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    A type of lavertera perhaps?

    Yes malva/lavatera family. 
    Worth waiting to see which one 😊 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
