    I think it is the bluebell flower. Campanula Rotundifolia

    Joyce, you are correct. This is Tall bellflower (Campanulastrum americanum). The flower’s style which extends well beyond the petals is one of its distinguishing characteristics. Josey, your guess was a good “runner-up” possibility.
