I think it may be purple toadflax, Linarea Purpurea. https://www.naturespot.org.uk/species/purple-toadflax

Thanks. I don't have a smart phone so can't get the app - although I looked for it to see if it would run on a pc.

Purple toadflax (who names these things?) looks similar although the stems on mine are more red/purple but maybe that's because it hasn't flowered yet.

I'm fighting/losing an endless battle with cleavers (Galium aparine) this year bigger and more prolific than any prior year.
