    Help identifying this plant in our yard. Shady location, NW Connecticut.

    Answer

    Dear Don, good morning. Please forgive the long delay in responding, but it has taken a long time to determine which species you photographed. The plant is likely Campanula poscharskyana (Serbian Bellflower). This species has not been documented as "wild" in New England before. If you feel this plant is naturalized (i.e., growing outside of cultivation), I would appreciate communicating with you by email about this and possibly including it in the flora. I can be reached at ahaines@nativeplanttrust.org, thank you in advance for your help.
