An unusual flower color. Of all the flower colors, blue constitutes less than 10 percent. These blue flowers are Tall Bellflower (Campanulastrum americanum), native to eastern North America.
A plant that grows with a central stem, that is usually unbranched, to a height of 3 to 6 feet. Part of the common name, bellflower, takes me by surprise. The flower is quite flat as opposed to a bell shape. Nothing new, I am often baffled by colors that are included in common names. I guess there are others that see things differently than I see them!
