Re: Campanula rapunculoides (creeping bellflower)

Just to clarify  -- 
I didn't mean to confuse the two.  Campanula rapunculoides and Adenophora
liliifolia are different plants.  The one plant that has been referred to by
two names is Campanula rapunculoides 'Afterglow' aka Adenophora 'Afterglow',
with the Adenophora name being the invalid name.   I only mentioned A.
liliifolia because it is the plant I am familiar with.  It wasn't part of
the original discussion.

In any event, they all seem to be a problem for gardeners.  When you see one
of them offered, just keep walking.
