Gentians, Bellflowers and Lilies

Outside of orchids I expect gentains, bellflowers and lilies cause the most excitement amongst plant enthusiasts. The British flora does not have that many native members of the gentian and bellflower families but he numbers are boosted by some garden varieties that have escaped in to countryside. Gentian and bellflowers often have large, bell shaped flowers. With lilies I have included the onion and asparagus families as some have lily as part of their common names.
