"Foxglove, Foxglove,
What do you see?"
The cool green woodland,
The fat velvet bee;
Hey, Mr Bumble,
I've honey here for thee!
"Foxglove, Foxglove,
What see you now?"
The soft summer moonlight
On bracken, grass, and bough;
And all the fairies dancing
As only thy know how.

You know I don't think I have ever seen anyone grow foxglove around here. Very pretty. Well at least you don't have to worry about bugs eating your flowers up. =)
Gorgeus flowers, nice color.
I love Foxgloves too, and you have captured them so well.
