Whazziss? : Blue Bell Flowers

Rural life is a whole new experience. There are plants, bugs, animals, and all sorts of things we never encountered in the city. Things that we've found here in the open air, wild trees & exciting way of life.

I started googling these items, but honestly, trying to match a picture with another picture, viewing hundreds that look the same....ugh. Too tough. So, as I run across these many things around here, I'll post them on a small blog post, for you, my trusty friends, to tell me what it is! It's called.... Whazziss?


Blue Bell Flowers


Here's a pretty flower my daughter found & loves.


They are blue-ish purple, and hang down in a bell shape.


Whatcha think? Can you tell me what type of flower this is?


Pretty, isn't it?!

Do you know what this plant is called?

  1. There are actualy 2 different species photoed here. The 1st is
    •Latin name: Penstemon augustifolius
    •Common name: narrow-leaved penstemon
    The second is
    •Latin name: Mertensia ciliata
    •Common name: Tall chiming bells
    Both very beautiful flowers. Here is a site I have found great for IDing Colorado flowers, http://www.wildflowerchild.info/index.html
