Not quite sure, because the flowers have just started to open up, but I think they may be some Blueweed, also known as Viper's Bugloss (Echium vulgare). Captured between two light showers, just as the soft evening light broke through and emphasised the vivid colours.

Yes, Viper's Bugloss, a member of the Borage Family.

What you saw on the dunes was more than likely Purple Viper's Bugloss, it likes dry sandy places, especially dune systems.

Looking at it again, it's not the Purple, as it has only two stamens protruding.

Had a chat to a botanical friend, and she told me that Denmark is too far north for Purple Viper's Bugloss. She works at Kew.
