  Harebell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Harebell (Campanula rotundifolia) is a short to medium, slender, hairless perennial.
Harebells flower between July and October and are found on dry grassland and heaths in Britain and throughout Northern Europe.
In Scotland, it was often known in the past as the Bluebell, whereas elsewhere, "bluebell" is used for Hyacinthoides non-scriptus.

 Paghat's Garden: Campanula rotundifolia 'Olympica'
Still, it's association with Scotland is strong, as it is the symbol of the MacDonald clan, & was formerly used in the manufacture of blue dye for tartans.
Harebells alludes to a folk belief that witches used juices squeezed from this flower to transform themselves into hares, & these juices lent the flower another Scottish folk name, "Milk-ort" (milk herb).
As a garden weed, it was generally left unpulled for fear offending the Aul Man or the fairies, hence, despite its cursedness, it was in every garden.

In a new country, where people have to tug for a living, no one will take the trouble to rear flowers unless the love of them is pretty strong; and this taste blossoming out of plain and uncultivated people, is itself a clump of harebells growing out of the seams of a rock.
A patch of flowers came to signify kind people, clean beds, and good bread.
