bell-shaped flowers

Hanging tubular petals

Bell-shaped flowers are blooms that form a rounded tube flaring outward at the rim, resembling a bell.

Lilies of the valley, bluebells, foxglove, and campanula display this shape.

The form often causes flowers to hang downward: The bell-shaped flowers nodded in the breeze.
