Harebells

Ah, the Harebell (Campanula rotundifolia), one the most delicate and beautiful of wildflowers, yet often found set in such exposed situations, is flowering in swathes across the chalk downs. Its flowers have the look of fragile pale blue crepe paper and are so wafer thin. The Harebell is often said to tremble in the breeze, though rocking to and fro in todays stiff wind it looked as if they were barely holding their ground.
