Campanula (bellflower)

Went for a long walk by the canal today and spotted these delicate blue bellflowers sprouting from a brick wall.

I love these small and delicate campanulas (I think they're harebells (Campanula rotundifolia)) and this is such a pretty photo!

[nanila]

Yes, harebells, that's right! Thank you; for some reason I couldn't remember the common name, haha. The little cottage gardens that are behind that low brick wall are so pretty, too. I'm pretty sure the harebells were planted in the wall by one of the gardeners living in the cottages.

Thank you. Me too!

What a lovely color!

[nanila]

Yes! And it contrasts so prettily with the bricks.
