Tall Bellflower (Campanula americana) is blooming now in North Alabama. This picture was taken near Hytop, AL. It was growing in a wet area with mature trees shading it, but can also be found in open woods, thickets, and woodland borders. The star-shaped flowers grow on long branching spikes that can reach 6 feet tall. The blue flower has a distinctive long, curving style at its center and will bloom for over two weeks.
