Both beautiful and interesting; especially C. seraglio - the only Campanula with this type of flower I know is Campanulastrum americanum (formerly Campanula).

Gabriela, many thamks for your friendly comment.
Campanula seraglio is related to C. troegerae, C. betulifolia, C. kirpicznikovii and C. choruhensis, all are from Northeastern
Turkey. They are all ecellent rockgarden plants and can be easily raised from seeds. There are also some hybrids among
 these species.
