I'm hoping someone can recognise this plant.  I spotted it on my round today taking shots of 'flowering in early June' I don't recognise it, or having seen it before in this spot and couldn't find a label so I'm relying on my Forum Buddies to help me out.

It was a very sunn y late afternoon sunny even, and the plant has come out paler than in real life. It should be a slightly darker mauve/blue an unusual shade really and is about 4-6 inches tall.
