The national flower of #Sweden is the Campanula rotundifolia. In England we know it by its common name of Harebell, but in Sweden it is the Liten Blåklocka, or Little Bluebell. Found these on a forest walk near Uppsala. Botanising in a different country really highlights how Linnaeus’ system of classification revolutionised #botany, as #botanists from all over the world can now be confident that they are talking about the same plant, no matter what it is called in their own locality.
