Beautiful photo, Cliff.  The subsp. is from Delphi, Greece (nice to see that some plant names make sense Smiley), according to Nicholls.

I'm impatiently awaiting the flowering of some C. topaliana I grew last year, and your photo makes me that much more eager!  Nicholls says the species is monocarpic or a short-lived perennial.  Has that been your experience? 
Does anyone from colder zones have experience with it re. its longevity?

And here it is finally... Campanula topaliana... too bad it's monocarpic!

I had it bloom and die twice and once it survived to bloom again. Alas, that one died after the 2nd year of bloom, but it self seeded for about 4 or 5 years, and I was careless with the seed, so I'm without that beautiful plant this summer.

Campanula hawkinsiana, from seed last year... despite its specialized habitat in the wilds of Greece (serpentinite substrates), it doesn't seem fussy here, and seems to grow equally well in tufa as in relatively neutral pH (as close to neutral as it gets here, likely still somewhat alkaline):

Here's a wonderful annual Campanula that we saw last May south of Lake Van in eastern Turkey - would sure like to get seeds of it!

Wow, that's a beauty, Alice!  Thanks for posting it!  I'm sure we'll all be on the lookout for seeds now.  Smiley

Campanula carpatica ex. 'Blue Clips'... available at any garden center and well worth having for its summer display!


Edit:  As these plants are many generations removed from the original, purchased (presumed) clone, I suppose it is more accurate to refer to them as "ex. 'Blue Clips'.

*INCORRECT USE OF [attachthumb=#]. You need to specify the attachment number, for example [attachthumb=1].


Its a beauty Lori. Is is 'Blue Clips' or 'Blue Chips'?  Instinct and memory tell me it is 'Blue Chips' originally, and maybe via garbled transliteration of a worn label it has become 'Blue Clips'. Another mystery... Wink

Good question, Mark!  My recollection is, strangely, the opposite... I knew it first as 'Blue Clips' (and also 'White Clips') but later noticed references also to '___ Chips'... ??

Edit:  I suppose "Blue Chip" would make some sense as a catchy name (e.g. "blue chip stock"), but the plural?  On the other hand, what would "Blue Clip(s)" refer to, anyway?   Huh?

Another edit:  Having said that though, 'Blue Clips' and 'White Clips' seem to be the original names, as bestowed by Benary, according to Lewis and Lynch in Campanulas:  A Gardener's Guide.  Graham Nicholls in Dwarf Campanulas also refers to 'Clips' rather than 'Chips'.

Yes, Graham Nichols book Dwarf Campanulas has two mentions of C. carpatica 'Blue Clips', no mention of 'Blue Chips', so I suppose that is the right one.  Both names are used on the web, memory didn't serve me, but then again, I tend towards dyslexia Wink
