Would that be a wild flower. Perhaps the birds have dropped the seed! I definately have a lot of strange "growings on"!!

if it is foxglove then there are many variations
ive got this link from Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxglove
they are very tall with lots of tube type flowers bees love them
they can be known as wildflowers, I wish I had them. If this is what you have this year next year it will flower... I think... trying to rack my memory as to what Ive learnt on here

Foxgloves (Digitalis) are bi annuals, They grow one year and then flower the next.
Well done Mookins.
Bees love them and so do I.

Look at the back of the leaf stalks - if they show any sign of pink, the foxglove will have pink flowers; if there is no colouration, it will have white flowers
