Looks a little like scabiosa, but...

The leaves are big, soft, velvety to the touch, the flowers are beautiful clear pink, the whole plant is maybe 40-50 cm tall and grows in half-shade. No idea what it is!

Regards, Barbara.

Where did you see it, please? British, European, wild plant? Looks a bit like a Knautia - a Wood Scabious, perhaps.

Well, it grows in my garden at present :), got it from a gardening friend. No clue here, I am afraid.
