Ian, I think your wee campanula is Campanula sartorii or possibly calaminthifolia (but this is frequently sartorii in cultivation). I have had it self seeding in a small area for many years mostly round a now fairly large Juniperus communis compressa and now down between the stones supporting the raised bed. I am always amazed how such a tiny plant can survive in arid conditions and go on to flower. I expect it produces masses of seed and only a tiny proportion will survive to become flowering plants.

thanks Roma -that is it - Campanula sartorii.
We got it from Bette Ivey who collected it in Greece way back when.
I will try scattering some of the seeds on my new outcrop and hope some of it finds a suitable environment there.

Loved the refurbished bed Ian. The eye of an artist once again, if I had tried to do that it would have looked like a dog's breakfast.

Nope, I think it was Bill Ivey who collected it. But it is C. sartorii, I recall the name now, thanks Roma ;)
