Plant ID

Are the leaves and the flowers from the same plant? Could be a campanula.

Yep I agree with Moongrower....a campanula, the flower is very similar to a Canterbury Bell.

Thanks both, but I'm even more confused now!
I can see why you think that the flower facing us looks like a campanula, in this pic it actually does. However in the flesh as it were, the plant itself doesn't look like any campanula I've seen (there could be other different-looking ones, obviously. Fuchsias don't all look like your "typical fuchsia") I'll repost the original pic now, and tomorrow should be able to post a new one of my own same plant in flower. Yes, mg, leaves and flowers are of same plant here. Last time I asked, suggestions ranged from Agastache to Hedge Woundwort to Monarda...
I'm wondering if it isn't some kind of non-useful salvia?

I still think campanula - take a look at http://images.google.com/images?client=safari&rls=en-us&q=campanula+photos&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=MfGQSs3AE8fajQe84r36DQ&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1 and see if you can i.d. from there

Shall have a look at your new pic Weeding......:o)

Girls, I've been out in the garden pruning the hedge again today (phew!) and every time I walk past The Purple Thing I think hm, could be a campanula as far as the flower is concerned. Pic to follow very shortly - I'm supposed to be cooking some tea, packing kids' stuff for tomoro, scraping wallpaper, and 97 other things...
thanks for your time, both!
