Every year, in early Spring, I check the garden borders looking for new foxglove plants. The one striking thing about this wonderful, old cottage garden essential is that every off-spring is different. From the darkest crimson purple can come a soft, buttermilk bloom with every shade in between! Each flower is like finding a precious jewel that has been chipped from the deepest mine. Every year I find at least one new variation from those that have visited before and they always leave me spellbound.
This Foxglove has upper flower insides cream with purple spots gradually changing so that lower ones are purple and the spots encircled with white

The inside of that flower looks so cool!
Fabulous, frilly, and pink. What more could you ask for ?
Very pretty. I just bought one of those this year. I read that they are supposed to attract humming birds. So far no birds but it's still pretty to look at.
Those are beautiful. I would love something like that in my yard.
These are so pretty! The colour is so vibrant.
They really are beautiful. Hey... what is this First Blogger's Club. I went to the site, but it's all very "secret." I don't join things that don't have an FAQ page or more info available up front.
Hi and thanks for your comment. Could you elaborate a bit please. What do you want to do with it please ? It's my brand and as you know, nothing on my site can be copied without permission so I appreciate you seeking it. I would need to know more at this stage please. Thanks !!
Cool. First time I've seen Foxgloves. These caught my attention because of one of the characters in Neil Gaiman's Sandman comics.
so pretty. unfortunately I can't get flowers like that to stay alive in the scorching Florida heat.
Fab color. Pink! Obviously, pink is my favorite hue. By the way, thank you for visiting Summer Bubbles. I'll follow your blog, too.
Nice flowers
