I have some of those and I do not think they are blue bells, which are much shorter. I have both purplish and white. I love them both.

It's very strange, they are in separate beds on opposite sides of the yard. One was a purplish blue, the other was light blue but Now, they are both white. Still pretty, but....odd.

Yes, just wish they lasted longer.
No, the beauty bush does not get berries, and we are in zone 5. Did not notice where you live, I get lots of sucker each year, some I have dug up and replanted. Don't know how they would ship.
What are the flowers in your #2 picture? They look like peonies maybe?

Ya I knew they were something else but no idea what. I love them because if you deadhead them they bloom all summer.
thanks for the name which I will promptly forget.
These aren't bluebells, but blue bell-flowers (Campanula)

I would forget where I put the journal or which flower I was talking about. I like the idea of a journal of flowers though -
I only remember because I keep a journal as I plant them!
