WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!dodge no color in the crayon world can compete with those flowers. I especially love the canterybury ones. I've never seen them before.

Gorgeous!!!

Thanks Rosepetal/Kalar........
I think other colors of bells are in progress.

Thanks for lookin in...... :ding:

dodge that canterbury is beautiful. Do you have several? Can I see a picture of just that or them. How tall do they get? Did you plant from seeds?

Canterbury bells are a biennial easily grown from seeds. You have a small plant the first year and the second year they rocket up to about 3-4 foot tall and bloom like crazy. They come in white, pink and purple tones. And a variety with another, flattened 'petal' called cup and saucer. They have a pretty long bloom season then go to seed and die. The seeds are easy to grow. I'll go see if I have pics of some of mine.

I have one old very fuzzy picture of a pink cup and saucer.

that's beautiful tina. what is that exactly? i missed something somewhere in the posts.

Glad ;you posted that.I think I have one in creme .....NOt in full bloom yet..

Jiffy, these are campanula medium, (canterbury bells) and the pic is the cup-and-saucer variety, calycanthema. I like them because they put on a splash of color in high summer heat when everything else has faded out.

thanks for the info. I'll get a pack of seeds and throw them out somewhere. I love that purple color.

The bells look more deep purple than show ....it is suprising how nice they really are ..
