small bells
campanula means small bell in latin. i like to think of these spikes, which are poking out of our roadside thatch everywhere at the moment, as ringing their collection of small bells as they nod in the breeze, to whatever music they might be hearing.
ladybells (adenophora liliifolia)
The plant ID may be incorrect. This plant is also flowering in southeast Michigan currently, and a botanist fiend said it’s in the Genus Adenophora. I am not sure.
Hi Jo,
Thank you for this! I think you are right…it is Ladybells, or false campanula! I have updated the post. Thnk you so much!
