What on earth....?

We moved to our new garden (and house!) last September, and a number of lovely flowers have appeared which I don't recognise (or can't put a name to). I wonder if anyone can help?

This one also comes in blue!





Many thanks!

Anthony

 

The first and second ones are beautiful!Are they campanula?

I LOVE the third - it is lychnis coronaria - a real cottage garden favorite - it is dazzling, especially on dark, rainy days, I wouldn't be without it!

 

Hi, the first one are campanulas, they look a bit like mine which are blue



I also have the smaller alpine version which is a blue pearl (I think its the name)-my hubby says they are harebells.

 

The second pic is a lily. Not so sure about the first being a campanula, the leaves don't look right to me, compare them to Lollipops which are sort of sheild shape whereas Crofthouses are more lanceolate (spear shaped)
Campanulas are a large family including hare bells, canterbury bells, and also many smaller varieties. Same white, some pink but mostly shades of blue through to light purple.

 

The second pic looks more like Phlox, to me.

 

tis pholox, the leaves are the give away.

 

Hi,

As far as the leaves on the campanula being different, there is a rescued plant in there (rescued from a bin-might have been a neighbours green bin but I admit to nothing!), and those are the leaves dorsetmike means-I think.


I am absolutely sure they are campanulas-and am now off to search the web to check, I have been wrong before-,many times now.

 

I mut admit, I initially thought number 1 looked like a Campanula from the flower, but discounted that because of the leaf shape. In case it helps, here's a pic of the blue version:-


Not sure about No2 being a phlox tho' - very different from the many others in this and other gardens - much more fleshy stems and different shape flowers.... but perhaps just a completely different variety.

Crofthouse, check out C. latifolia "Gloaming".

 

I agree with dai. Campanula, lily, phlox.

 

You're right, Dai - C. Latifolia definitely matches, leaves and all!
Thanks
