Beautiful, David.  I think the bright gold stamens just set it off so nicely too.  Thanks.

Campanula fragilis from the Italian Abruzzi Mts. flowers reliable and profusely
every year.
The form from Mte. San Angelo near Naples flowers later and is less vigorous,
but also very beautiful, with me it is still in buds, the picture is from last year.

My attempts to cultivate these plants in the open rockgarden failed.
I think that it hates water at the wrong time.

Rudi , sorry to be late with my Birthday Wishes . Yes , stunning pictures of the iitalian
 Campanula , would love to grow it in my crevice garden . Saw a Campanula a few years
ago on the Isle of Capri that looked very much like it -do you know if C. fragilis grows on
Capri ?

Hallo Otto, vielen Dank for your good wishes, I will try to save some seeds though
I was not sucessful with it in the last years, in spite of the large amount of flowers.
I have no information about Camp.fragilis in Capri, but Napoli is not far away from it.
Could be possible.
