For my records
This plant did have 5 flower spikes - all except this one spike have suffered (?) the same as the one behind this.

Is this what is commonly called Rusty Foxgloves? It's unusual and very striking. Must get this.

Thanks Oji and Meadowland...Never heard of Rusty Foxgloves Oji - but have just googled....
Rusty Foxgloves are Digitalis Ferruginea - I presume the FERRU will come from the same root as Ferrous (iron) and this is Digitalis Parviflora - Parvi means small (I think). Funny how some things get their names isn't it :))
Goodness me, that took me back 30 years to my latin classes at school. My latin teacher would have been pleased - I was so disruptive in his class he refused to mark my 2nd year exam!!!!

Thans Leighanne....was is more descriptive of it Leighanne - what ever was wrong with it all the flowers ended up floppy and I've chopped it right down!
It's popped up 2 new leaves so hopefully all is not lost!!!
