i'd agree with peter, does look like viper's bugloss. but then i had to do a double take on account of it also looks vaguely like phacelia!

At last, some sensible answers lol! 
There were quite a few of them, but right on the ridge only of the quarry edge and they'd just about all finished flowering. Not one I've seen before, but quite striking non-the-less!
Thanks for your replies Peter W and almostnormal - I shall go and see if I can look them up for a positive ID   |

My first thought was a Limonium but what would a 'sea-lavender' be doing up there? I was out in the Derbyshire Dales over the weekend and was surprised by the number of plants in flower for mid-September - had a late start obviously!

Dan - do you want some too whilst I'm there? | No wind up! I had some in the garden last year. It was gorgeous! I had to uproot it unfortunately  As i had other plants crowding it! But i have had to rethink my wildflower border again anyway. So if you really don't mind going to the trouble i'd really apprieciate it!!! |

I'm only going once more this week (before the rain sets in for the next 6 months) and because I'm a nice person I will collect only what I think is appropriate eg. I'm not breaking my neck falling down the quarry edge to get it, ok!
Also, because I am a nice person, I will share my booty with whoever wants some
Form an orderly queue now.... |
