Campanula ID'd by Oron as Campanula drabifolia

What a confusing number of Campanula exist.
We saw this on May 1st.
Can anyone help me  name it?
I am afraid it was rather dried out by the time I got it home.

I found the name of the species most amusing, until I found out that it means acrid-leaved rather than drab-leaved.
