It looks like a wahlenbergia - maybe W. luteola

Wahlenbergia species are often hard to differentiate, and you usually need more than just the flower for proper identification.

For a definite identification you need good photos of the stems and leaves, and the backs of the flowers. In some cases you also need fairly mature fruit as well.

Thanks, next time I'll be sure to take photos of all the other parts of the plants too.
