2011/149: Campanula (1)
Greg surprised me with these flowers the Saturday after Mother’s Day, when we were doing our usual Saturday morning grocery shopping. I admired them while Greg was getting a grocery cart, but I didn’t put them in the cart. Later, when we were waiting in the check-out lane, Greg disappeared, and came back with the flowers a few minutes later. What a nice surprise! 🙂
Unfortunately I threw away the plastic wrapper that had the name of these flowers on it… before I could write down the name! I’ve looked every Saturday since, but can’t find the flowers at the store anymore.

Definitely campanula. My blue one’s are blooming and the white ones are just getting ready to open. Who doesn’t love a bell shaped flower (or any other flower for that matter). That fella of yours sounds like a keeper! 😉

Thank you!! That could be it? I looked them up, and some pictures look like it, and some don’t. These were long-stemmed, and had several of these little flowers, starting about half way up the stem.

I bet Tracy will come along and confirm the flower name for you – she’s good like that. Whatever they are, I like! 🙂

If you get really stuck, then I’ll happily let you borrow one of my Latin flower names, or you could just call it Trevor… 😉

Oh I think you should definitely give it a proper Latin name, Brian!

Might have to take you up on that someday 😉
I don’t think Trevor quite fits, needs something more girly.

Whatever they are, it’s a beautiful flower, and you have a wonderful husband who would surprise you with it that way. 🙂

Canterbury bells!!

kcjewel beat me to it! Yes, Canterbury Bells (possibly Campanula persicifolia Grandiflora ‘Alba’) or White Bell Flower as they are commonly called. There are several varieties of camapnula (both annual and perennial) so flower images that you see online can vary from what you have depending upon the actual variety.
Enjoy your surprise! 🙂
