Campanula medium, commonly known as Canterbury bells, is native to southern Europe and has been widely cultivated in temperate regions around the world as a biennial ornamental. In its first year, it develops a rosette of leaves, and in the second year, it produces tall, erect stems reaching 2–3 ft in height, topped with dense clusters of bell-shaped flowers in late spring to early summer. The flowers are 2–3 in long, with a flaring bell form and a smooth texture, available in cultivated varieties of white, pink, blue, and violet. Each bloom has a central cluster of yellow stamens that contrasts with the corolla, and they are arranged along the upright stems in racemes. Photographed in Ecuador.
