The stigma is unusual, no? Almost every picture on the Web has a tripartite stigma.

I've only just noticed that. In the photo Naturenutz has provided the stigma is unusual it looks like it hasn't opened fully.

Campanula persicifolia has the small yellow anthers deeper in the flower with the stigma which divides into 3 like shown in these photos.
Bellflower, Peach-leaved
I'm not too sure though because the flower shape resembles Harebell.

I wonder if it is a protandrous plant in which the anthers mature first and the stigma will split apart, curl back, to reveal the pollen-receptive surfaces later ?

Thats what I meant by the stigma splitting into three like shown in the pictures of the C. persicifolia

You are right about the stigma, only the older flower shows the tri=partite end. the flowers are very "open" for harebell, they are usually fatter looking. perhaps it is a hybrid with ?persicifolia?
