I’ve no idea what I’m doing.

    Viper's bugloss??
    I'm not sure, but if it's VB I'd leave it - they're really pretty and the bees love them.

    That's a new one on me! I'll see if I can dig up some images to confirm

    It's not Viper's Bugloss, looks familiar, I'll think about it


    In the sticks near Peterborough

    Corn cockle?

    Hard to tell but it looks quite similar to my Anchusa which are just running up to flower. I think it's the same family as Vipers Bugloss, so it makes sense if they look similar.
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained

    Hmmmm, no one seems to be sure about this one! 😄

     is there another picture I could post that might help identify it?
