Campanula Joe Elliot is still in flower with more and more flowers every day, in
my opinionon a must for every Campanula lover.
Another Campanula relative is Trachelium asperuloides from Greece.

And a superb Trachelium Rudi. I know this plant has a quite difficult reputation.

This world of Campanulas is totally enthralling, all so very different and Joe Elliot is so appealing  :)

Dear friends, thank you for the kind replies.
Trachelium asperuloides is not difficult in the Alpine house in
my experience,but it could be not so easy in other climates.
I have no experience with cultivation in the open garden,but
will probably try it in some time.

About 25 years ago Conandron ramondoides grew very well in my garden,but then I somehow
lost it. All my attempts to get it again failed,so I was so happy to get Japanese wild seeds by
the AGS Seed Exchange. Sown in January 2008 it germinated and grew very well and flowers now.
The only problem are snails and slugs which are a real pest,especially in this year.

Here is what I have as Zephyranthese 'La Buffa Rose' (or perhaps it should be 'Labufarosae', I seem to remember us having this discussion last year).

When I posted a pic last year Alberto Costello considered it to be a Cooperia which I think has been subsumed into Zephyranthese. For such a pretty little flower it does cause problems ;D

I agree Lesly, just the vaguest hint of pink at the very tip of the petals.

Rudi,

The Conandron ramondoides is quite striking.  Yet another Gesneriaceae that I've never heard of or seen before.  So many different ones seem to pop up here on the SRGC forums, but this one has such different flowers.  Beautiful!!  Thanks for posting. 8)
