Bellflower
The family Campanulaceae (also bellflower family), of the order Asterales, contains nearly 2400 species in 84 genera of herbaceous plants, shrubs, and rarely small trees, often with milky sap
Campanula rapunculoides (creeping bellflower) may be a troublesome weed, particularly in gardens, while Legousia spp. may occur in arable fields.
This family is almost cosmopolitan, occurring on all continents except Antarctica
Flowers are bisexual and petals are fused into a corolla with 3 to 8 lobes bell- or star-shaped
Blue of various shades is the most common petal colour, but purple, red, pink, orange, yellow, white, and green also occur
The style is in various ways involved in the "presentation" of the pollen
