Campanula parryi, or Parry's bellflower, is a summer perennial found in montane, subalpine open meadows, moist pine woodland, and sunny streambanks; across southern rocky mountain states. It is widespread, but sparse within suitable habitat. At 2-12 inches (5-30 cm) tall, C. parryi has narrow, linear leaves, thin stems, and periwinkle colored solitary flowers, which are typically upward facing. The flower has five petals fused together to create the namesake bell-shape.
