Campanula ID

     I just returned from a vacation in British Columbia, including a visit 
to Butchart Gardens, where I suffered serious fuchsia envy.  Anyway, while 
doing the family laundry at a laundromat, I wandered over to a nearby 
drugstore that had various plants for sale outside and there saw a short 
campanula somewhat similar to a normal C. carpatica, but with fully double 
blue flowers.  The label said only "campanula," and when I checked with a 
nearby nursery, I was told that they had gotten their plants "at auction" on 
the mainland and that they had been unlabeled. The nursery was referring to 
them as "Double Blue Clips."
     I have started various of the shorter campanulas from seed, but 
unfortunately have gotten them mixed up in my head and am not sure which is 
which, but I certainly recognized the leaf on my mystery plant as a toothed, 
ovate campanula leaf.  Has anyone seen this plant??  Any of you nursery 
people?  I was pretty sure I could not legally bring one back across the 
border with me, so I didn't buy it and it's killing me.  Imagine finding a 
totally unknown (to me) plant and in front of a drugstore, yet!

Thanks,
Vivien B.
