Harebells/ Today's Flowers

Harebells (Campanula rotundifolia) in Ontario's "cottage country"

The bluebells of Scotland are called harebells here. They were bobbing in the wind when I first spotted them by the side of the road, but they stopped momentarily for my lens to capture them.

  8. Those are so lovely. I think I've always heard them called bluebells so interesting to know they are also called harebells.

  9. Such a lovely image! I planted some white harebells in my flowerbed, they lived a couple of years, but I think they died out. These blue ones are really pretty.
    Thanks for coming by!

  10. It is new for me, I've never seen it before. The color is simply elegant EG. Have a nice Sunday!

  11. I think the Bluebell is the state flower of Texas and they grow wild everywhere.

    As re your question on Stone Creek - no, those aren't roses, but I don't their name...

  17. I love the shape of these lovely flowers. In Sweden they are called "blåklocka" and that means bluebell if you do a direct translation. :)

  20. We have smaller bell shaped ones we call bluebells - I am not sure what we call these but they are lovely!

  21. I still would stick with the bluebells. They are so beautiful and delicate. I think ours have long been gone, unless in the higher elevation.

  23. Love your framing on this one!
    The frame shows them off quite well.

  24. Why is it that blue flowers appeal to me. is it because there are less of them?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Very clever treatment.
    I like Bluebells or Harebells or even Canterbury Bells. Nice shots. MB
