Re: Help with this Blue Flower ID

Yes, it's definitely Monk's-hood (Aconitum napellus) - it's a native in parts of the south-west, and a fairly frequent garden escape elsewhere.

Wolfsbane, though, is actually a different plant (Acontium lycoctonum) - it has white flowers, not blue, and as far as I know is far rarer naturalised in the UK.
