At least one image of frontal of flower would have been better for ID.

Thank you.

agree with Saroj

I gave up after devoting half hour trying to figure out on the day you posted it

when something you think is unusual, that's when you need a few more pictures

this is why a few more pictures are always nice in this day of digital

Campanula was the first and usual suspect
that where most of us I am sure started, Alistair

but rounding up the usual suspects (as in Casablanca) did not help me get any closure to a diagnosis.

I’m now wondering about Triodanis perfoliata (sometimes treated as a Campanula) as a possible ID.
