    Default Wild flower identification

    Not even sure if it is a wild flower. It's the only one in my garden and the first time it has appeared in 10 years of living here. Approximately 3 foot high.

    Any ideas please?

    Thanks Becky. I had a feeling about Campanula but didn't think they grew so tall.

    One learns every day no matter what the age.

    Now for some seeds!

    I was going to suggest Harebells?

    The childhood and grief is mine and mine alone and I always bounce back, although it takes time, as life goes on no matter what.

    I just love flowers, plants and my garden.

    Have a good weekend all.

    Thanks for the link. This plant turned up in my Seeds for Bees from FoE last year and flowered this year and I was wondering what it was. I also found borage and lavender amongst the seeds so it looks like the bees are going to be happy for years to come because, borage in particular have a habit of self seeding and the others are perennials.
