I saw this plant today on the site of a dismantled coal mine on the North Wales coast. It comes up every year:   
Does anyone know what it is? The whole plant is bristly like bugloss. At the centre of the flower there are five white-hairy scales reminiscent of Pentaglottis |

Thanks Tiggrx, Google definitely agrees with you!
I've found it in a couple of my books. My very old Collins guide has it as France and Germany only; Stace (1997) says 'A rather infrequent escape on waste and rough ground and tips, very rarely naturalised; naturalised in West Cornwall c1922-1972'

Great find TC. I had a Borage come up in one place last year but it never came back  | | |
