Vesikellien

Vesikellien is a Finnish term that translates to "water bells." It most commonly refers to a type of flowering plant in the Campanula genus, particularly those that grow in damp or aquatic environments. These plants are characterized by their bell-shaped flowers, which can range in color from white to various shades of blue and purple. The term is often used in a general sense to describe wildflowers found near lakes, rivers, or wetlands in Finland.

While there isn't a single species exclusively known as "Vesikellien" in botanical classification, the name evokes the image of delicate, water-loving bellflowers. Some species of Campanula that might be referred to as Vesikellien include those with a preference for moist soil and open, sunny locations. Their presence indicates a healthy wetland ecosystem. The plants are typically perennial, with slender stems and toothed leaves. Their blooming season usually occurs during the summer months. The visual of water bells gently swaying in the breeze near a water source is a common and often appreciated aspect of the Finnish landscape.
