Bellflowers

The Balmoral Castle shop was selling these flowers for £22 a pot but I’ve got them growing wild in the back garden. I don’t even know how they got there as I don’t recall planting them. Aren’t they beautiful? They’re Campanula persicifolia or peach-leaved bellflowers.

The garden has exploded over the past month as always happens at this time of year. Everything is overgrown and a bit wild but we like it that way. The garden is full of bees and wildlife.

    Campanula are great, one of two things left from the last owner of my house still flowering (the other is a hydrangea, and the honeysuckle produces leaves but no flowers). For some reason they didn’t spread for years, and now they are moving around the garden nicely. I’ve just cut mine back, they flowered about a month ago. I’m not surprised you have many bees.
