Plant names and their meanings

Thanks to Jimny and his Flower ID question ......................

Campanula - from the family Campanulacae. Commonly know as Bellflower because the flowers are shaped like............Bells!! 
Harebells, Canterbury Bells are Campanulacae but, NOT Bluebells unless you're in Scotland where they call Harebells Bluebells!

Campanology is the study of bell casting and ringing and Campanologists are the people who jump up and down on the end of ropes ringing the bells!
Freestanding belltowers, like the one in St Mark's Square in Venice are called  Campanile.

If you want to identify a plant with a bell-shaped flower - think Campanula first.
