white cranes bill
Could we see a photo showing which leaves belong to this plant please.
Not a cranesbill
In the sticks near Peterborough
It looks like a white flax (linseed) to me Linum, often grown by farmers for the seeds (they are oil-riched and used in animal feed, or as linseed oil) or sometimes grown on areas of land to attract game birds and other wildlife.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
That's it, I knew it looked familiar

Thanks for your comments. This is a photo of the leaves on one of the plants yet to flower. The leaves have a slight grey/green hue to them. I didn't think these leaves looked like flax but could it still be a variety?
Doesn't look like flax nor hemp ?
Those leaves aren't flax. they look like fat hen or similar which doesn't have flowers like that. Can you make sure the two are one. If they are, then we're wrong.
I recently spent some time convincing someone that the yellow daisy flowers coming out of the top of a hellebore were two different plants

Didn't think it looked quite right- any ideas on a positive ID?
maybe white evening primrose?
