    Hello from 'down-under' Australia.
    My first posting to this excellent site, lets hope it will be the first of many

    I would love someone to identify this plant please.
    Plant dies down during the winter & is flowering now, December-January Summer in Victoria
    Flowers are about 2 inches across
    Awaiting replies
    Happy gardening

    Platycodon grandiflorus - related to Campanula, but the "inflating" flower in the upper background gives away the identity of this "balloon flower"
