Campanula patula
This delicate bellflower bears lateral branches of pale blue or white flowers that are upright and funnel shaped. The leaves are narrow and pointed. The main difference between this and other bellflowers is that the petals in the bell are spread out and more pointed.
It is rare in the wild, occurring mainly on infertile banks and rock outcrops in the West Midlands. It makes a lovely addition to a flower border. In Belgium is spread all over the place in grasslands and sideroads suring this time of the year.
