    Phlox paniculata. Dont know the variety. Nice purple.

    I'm pretty sure it's a campanula of some kind.  Magnificent stand of purple isn't it! image

    Edit: Oops - I think fidget has it right - phlox. image

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Don't worry, if you click on it, maybe double click it will be enlarged and the correct way up.

    could it be a Phlox.? It's mighty big though!

    Have you got a close up of the flower head?

    My first thought was Campanula but a close up would help. It's certainly impressive LPimage

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



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

    It's bit really conical enough to be a paniculata. The flowers are all way up stem
