I know one of these Campanulas!
« on: June 22, 2013, 05:47:49 PM »
The one on the right is C.glomerata - a really nice dwarf form, but the one on the left???? ???
I am sure someone will know it - but it is new to me.

Hi John !
I think you have Campanula glomerata ssp speciosa there.  ;)

I think the amazing one on the left may be Campanula speciosa - looks quite a bit like some of these pictures in habit, leaf shape and flower shape:

The 'bloomin' thing was at it's best while we were on holiday in Spain but still looks good today. The ident looks pretty well confirmed - thanks Luc & Lori.

This may seem a strange answer but - we won it in a raffle in Gent! :P
We were on a long weekend with Cliff & Sue Booker talking to the Flemish Alpine Club and they have this stupendous raffle of plants provided by members.
Sorry I can't be of more help - unless it sets seed of course!
Will advise.

 There are those of us who would if we could, Luc! 
I cannot understand why anyone "local"  would possibly bear to miss these events from the VRV.
