Now 'tis the time when, tall,
The long blue torches of the bellflower gleam
     Among the trees; and, by the wooded stream,
     In many a fragrant ball,
Blooms of the button-bush fall.

From "July" by Madison Cawein

Tall Bellflower is also known as American Bellflower.

The flowers are located along the single stem, at each leaf. They are a lovely blue with a white circle in the center, with 5 petals. The long style curves upward. Before opening, the flower buds have well-defined ridges.
