That is a very close up picture of a very good blue form of Campanula carpatica

Well Owdb. I wouldn't be brave enough to id it that far, though agree it looks like, but definitely a campanula!

be tempted to agree with bamboo on this, looks more like a Platycodon to me..

C. persicifolia I'm going with.

If you look at the unopened bud just behind the flower, it is a Campanula bud rather than a Platycodon bud (Campanula have ribbed buds, Platycodon buds are smooth).
I would say that C. persicifolia has flowers where the petals are more separated at the edges of the flower than this one, even in the very dwarf form, nitida.

Ok. Well done Fractal, you nailed it on one. The flowers are more joined up than mine, but the leaves clinch it. Kudos to that man!

Indeed well done Fractal

Ooh, hello, the pic's changed to a white one! And now we see the leaves, and now I agree with Fractal!

Already answered this when you were a guest, Bombom - need to see the leaves, unless you want to google Platycodon and see if its like your plant.
