Campanulaceae 2014

[David Nicholson]

Thanks for saving me some researching time Rudi. We're just back from a week in Sorrento and this Campanula was widespread on the mountain road between Sorrento and Amalfi. My camera was back in Devon?!!

David, how lucky you were to see these fine plants in nature, but is a pity,
that you could not photograph them.
I have never see pictures of these plants how they grow in their native habitats.

[Lori S.]

Codonopsis clematidea, a frequent imposter for other Codonopsis.  I wish I had not planted it out because I failed to dead head and the seedlings are difficult to remove if growing close to other plants

Yes, I agree! Even the little seedlings are rather well anchored and resist being pulled out.  It's taken over the bed it's in... well, due to my lack of maintenance, mind you.   

Campanula turczaninovii (now apparently Campanula stevenii ssp. turczaninovii?) from a little while back:

Another charming campanula, Lori. The range of "blues" is this genus is unbeatable, isn't it ?

Campanulas from July 1

Campanula fragilis, Campanula trogerae, Campanula „Joe Elliott“ and Campanula hierapetrae

[K-D Keller]

Campanulas & Trachelium from July 2

Campanula raineri, Campanula alsinoides, Campanula incurva and Trachelium asperuloides

[ChrisB]

This is C. Royal Wave, quite the best behaved campanula I've come across.  It stays as a really nice clump and even holds up when it's been rained upon.  No idea what it's been bred from, but it sure is a good doer...

Platycodon Grandiflorus, Balloon Flower a relative of campanulas in flower

[Roma]

Campanula choruhensis
Campanula 'Hallii'
Campanula incurva - it is a few years since I first grew this and I still get a few seedlings coming up every year, some in better places than others
I think this is Campanula isophylla.  It is a seedling from a pot plant and has been growing for many years wit the Acer in this pot.
Cyananthus integer x sherriffii

So many great Campanulaceae here in this topic !

This one has a very difficult time here outside in the rockgarden. It suffered very much from the heavy rains in july and luckely recovered a bit in august. It already give me again one flower this weekend but now it rains again very heavy for more then 48 hours...Bad timing for this C. raineri.

Another one I grow in pot : Campanula shetlerii.     

[astragalus]

That last one is a real beauty, Kris.  Do you find that the campanulas will recover after heavy rains?  Or do they remain a bit begraggled?  I grow very few because almost all seem to want more water  than I can give.
