    Ox eye daisy? Perhaps borage as well, recognise the pink one but no idea what it is

    The pink one is Pink campion,

    The daisy is the Ox eye daisy as Cathy says.

    The blue is Bugle - a wild form of Ajuga.

    I reckon the pink one is red campion, as are all the brown pods in the foreground.

    One of my fave wildflowers - going to try it in an awkward part of the garden with some corncockle next yearimage

    Pink campion = red campion, at least in East Anglia it does image

    I wasn't correcting you, if it looked like that Dove?

    No that's fine - just didn't want people trying to look up pink campion and not find it - red campion is it's proper name image

    If you look at the size of the bugle flowers......... couldn't some of the pink ones be wild geraniums.......... I have several differnt ones of these growing about the path and they look shorter than the daisies........ image

    Do you mean Cranesbill?  Can't see any ...
