"Milk Chocolate" foxglove!! The flowers are only a fifth the size of wild ones, being a bred variety - so don't worry about the tiny flowers!!! Hope that you, and the bees, enjoy! :-))

Thank you David! Yes I do love it, it was just not as I expected only having seen T& M's illustration of Chocolate foxglove a different flower altogether! There are lots of bees here too so I'm sure they'll find it yummy :o)
