Edit: Photo no longer exists
Another unknown Irish plant. I almost looks like a weed or wildflower, but I was so taken with it, I took its picture home with me. I so often do very close up pics of flowers, so never have leaves for better ID.

I'll get back to you on this one Jan as it's going to be quite difficult to find - as you say - no leaves!!

After looking through my plant books I decided to take a break and have a wander around the garden. Guess what I found?!! Yep I have the exact same flowers growing beside my eucalyptus trees - definately a verbena!!!! Sorry I couldn't get a piccie but it was already dusk when I went outside. I'll try to remember to take one tomorrow.

Verbena bonariensis it is, but it is perennial not an annual. It also self seeds all over the garden too!
