Foxgloves

Between my neighbors and me, we have some really beautiful flowers blooming right now. This foxglove is growing in my front yard. The seeds came from my former home in the woods where I spent a few years in the seventies. Of course I didn't plant the seeds in this particular spot. The plants have migrated from my backyard to the front.

When I was little we had foxglove growing on our ten acre rural property and I remember imagining a fox carefully placing his toes in the furry blooms. It never quite made sense, but foxglove is a more colorful name than the latin digitalis.
