Description
We have arrived in south Florida safe and sound after a wonderful trip of 1,588 miles (2556 km). Thank you to all that wished us a safe trip. As we packed the car, I noticed only a single flower was left in our neighbors garden. I thought it was a clematis but now realize that it is not. Thank you Alan (Katraz), Andrea (DurleyBeachBum) and Jeff (jayfar) for helping with the ID of this flower!!! It is a lovely zoom!
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments.
They are very much appreciated.
Dana

superb on the shot, Dana. most beautiful color and zoomed is best.
Excellent flower shot Dana.
If the plant is low growing matt forming I reckon it's a Campanula they are often sold as bedding / pot plants
Thank you very much for the ID Alan!
I'm for a campanula too! Good to hear you are safely back in your winter nest. But say NO to energy sapping responsibilities this time, Dana!
Thank you very much for helping with the ID Andrea. I will have help this year wit a younger owner joining the board member. A retired businessman with some great ideas. He helped a lot over the summer. AS always thanks for watching over me!!!!!

Wonderful shot. Aloha
A most lovely shot, dear friend. And great to hear you and Jo arrived safe at home again. We have this flower in our garden, and we call it Platycodon. What the Internet says about it: Platycodon grandiflorus (from Greek "πλατυκώδων", meaning a broad bell) is a species of herbaceous flowering perennial plant of the family Campanulaceae, and the only member of its genus. It is native to East Asia (China, Korea, Japan and East Siberia). This species is known as platycodon. Depending upon the region, it is also referred to as the Korean bellflower, Chinese bellflower, Japanese bellflower, common balloon flower, or balloon flower (referring to the balloon-shaped flower buds). You can take a look here, Dana: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platycodon_grandiflorus
Thank you for your help Mies - I will look that up. What a great community that we belong to.
Very nice!
fascinating close up of this wonderful colored beauty! ;o)
I have seen these around here but lost at the name of it sure is a beautiful capture.
jolie!
I thought Andrea would know :o) It is so pretty!!
2556 ks from where we are ? - that is not too far after all, hello neighbour! LOL It seems almost everybody helped you out with the flower recognition - nothing more left to say except for this, now that I checked my Botanica it's a Campanula lactiflora 'Pritchard's Variety' (a native to the Caucasus region and eastern Turkey) *** and all that's left to do for both of you now, is to sit back, put your feet up and relax, have a little drink and enjoy the stay! BB
Wow that's a long journey at least no mishaps on the way, and what a beautiful flower to arrive home to
How lovely this closeup is! Great detail!
I am glad you had a safe trip! Thanks for sharing this lovely flower!
Splendid image! :)
