So fantastic to look into and enjoy each development ending up with the flowers in the centre, thanks Magnar  :)

Wonderful Campanula. Lori. Never saw that one before.

Im always happy to find that Physoplexis comosa has survived winter and flowers again  :)

Lori, what a glorious sight to see spilling over the trough edge in your garden - a fabulous Campanula herzegovina 'Nana'

Thank you Paddy, I'd managed to miss the Saussurea, now in flower.  Absolutely glorious, isn't it.  So glad you mentioned the two plants and I went back to find the second one of Magnar's that I had missed.  ::)

Thanks Magnar!

Sorry Cohan and Stephen, we have been away for a few days in the Rila mountains. The Seseli gummiferum is about 1m tall with several stems radiating out from what was originally a rosette. The last time I gre it its form was more serpentine along the ground. Erm- no I haven't tried collecting any gum yet. I shall have to look into that one.
The rain at the start of July has persuaded a few plants into repeat flowering. Flowering now:
Scabiosa graminifolia

Silene jenisseenis; it spreads around a bit, which seems rather odd for a silene, based on the ones I've grown.

Simon, I do love Scabious flowers they pop up randomly repeating here and there in rocky spots, meadows and even woodland clearings where they and Campanula range from the most intense blue to light, like your Scabiosa graminifolia - fabulous :)

Robin, they are one of my favourite flowers too. In our recent trip to the Rila mountains Scabiosa and Knautia were very prominent members of the grassland communities, flowering in some lovely shades of pastel pinks, purples and blues.

Lori,
I am affraid that the name of your Campanula is not correct. I grow under this name (correct spelling is C. hercegovina Degen at Fiala)
another plant which I got in this spring from Ron Beeston. I believe that this one is correct species as it must be very tiny according my information. I am not sure however on 100%. My plant is very tiny and its height is only about 5 or 6 cm.
