    One of the Campanulas.  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Looks like a Nettle-leaved Bellflower (Campanula trachelium) with a virus in it's leaves.

    Nettle...Virus... it's sounding like it is heading for my compost heap! It's certainly not something I've planted. Thanks for the help Fairygirl and yorkshirerose!

    If it is a virus is it wise to put it in the compost? I would burn or bin it.

    Gosh - I would love to have that spring up somewhere here - Carpenter bees love them  :)
