Apologies, picture to follow.
Does anyone know of a plant where the leaves look like Honesty/Lunaria, which is what I was expecting, but the flowers are large bells made of cream crepe paper. I have lots of bellflowers, but the leaves are totallydifferent, and the flowers are soft and pure white.
No idea what it is. Was really surprised. Am in western europe, climate the same as London/SE, as is much of the flora n

You can get nettle leaved bell flowers although I thought the flower would be blue

Just googled and there is a white variety but picture doesn’t look crepe flower

Never seen such a thing out and about maybe something from Asia introduced?

Here are the pictures. I have never seen anything like it. Spooky and ghostly flowers, a mad mash of fritillaries, foxgloves, and bellflowers. Hope someone can help.

But younare probably right, probably a weird bellflower type such as en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campanula_punctata

Thankyou.

There are lots of different campanulas, I've got a blue one just like your white one.

The thing with plants is that it is the flower that gives it away, lots of plants have the same flower but different leaves.
