Foxglove

wow how lovely!

What a beauty! And what a stroke of luck!

Lovely freebie :o)

Yes. And in a spot where I might have planted it myself!!

Good of you to be honest ...
... that it wasn't part of your own planting plan ;o)

That's even better - my self seeders are never where I would put them!

Wow!!!....Lucky you Inverglen...:>)

That's a real beauty, I don't think I've ever seen such a pure white on a foxglove.

Yes a real lucky chance. Must get the seeds, scatter some and grow some in trays. But will they come white I wonder? Do foxgloves come true or do they behave like aquilegias and play the lucky dip game.

lucky dip i fear?

Funny enough, I was going to ask you about whether they'd come true, Inverglen - I'm too tired to do the research tonight ;-)

Have just read a few websites and can answer my own question. Stickitoffee is right. One member has a blog about this and cuts down all the purple ones to try and preserve only the whites etc. but surely the problem is that your own garden fence is a totally artificial border that plants and insects etc. do not recognise so you must be on a losing wicket . Anyhow, I will try sowing some and see what happens.

If anyone else wants seeds of this white one just let me know. That's if they ever ripen in this weather.

very striking... pity you do not know who brought it :-)))

i would like it to bring me one!!!

just perfect...
