Foxglove

lovely deep colour

Sumptuous.

Thanks Mageth and Wagger :)
It's hard to get this color right sometimes and the camera got it right this time. Used flash, outside later afternoon.

I've just planted white ones.

I have beautiful peach ones, but won't see them until next summer.

Pam- There are a bunch of white ones at work, very pretty.
Newfie- Peach, never seen this one in that color...can't wait to see yours :)

Lovely close-up. These grow wild in Cornwall, UK, in the roadside hedges and along the banks of railway tracks. They seem to like slopes.

Sounds lovely Elke. We have some wild varieties here as well, they're not quite as fancy or brightly colored though. They must like good drainage...living on slopes like that.
