Is this 'cup and saucer 'plant?

North Lincolnshire, United Kingdom

I found this hidden amongst the woodland Geraniums and Aqueligias, i haven't planted it but last year i did have some 'cup and saucer' plants in another part of the garden, not open yet any ideas?

It defineltly looks like some sort of campanula Sew, but sorry will only be able to tell when the flowers open...something nice to look forward to

I know Cobaea scandens as the cup and saucer vine or Canterbury Bell, and it's an annual climber. Is that what you mean - if it is, I must say this picture does look rather like it.

this is certainly a campanula but to early to say yet. looks nice and healthy. how tall is it?

Bamboo is right cup and saucer plant genus Cobaea. Does the plant have tendrils? its a half hardy annual so wouldnt expect it to come through the winter but perhaps some seeds have managed to germinate. The reason I though it was a campanula was because I cant see the saucer part of the plant

Hey Mageth, it might be campanula anyway, since we can't tell if its climber or not!

No no tendrils, its about 3' high, will post a photo when the flowers open, thanks people

My money's on Campanula Persicifolia. Does it come from a rosette at the base, Skilla?

I think Bamboo is right, this could be Campanula Canterbury Bells

Oh don't know Wagger will have a look tomorrow if i can find the bottom of it, its crowded in with Geraniums, borage, comfrey and japanese anenomes!!!
