    I love foxgloves. My mum calls them fairy thimbles (timbles in her still very Irish accent!)

    There’s something magical about foxgloves, isn’t there? I’ve tried to grow them in my (Arkansas) cottage garden several times, but they never survive. Pity!

    @jams: Love the “fairy thimbles”!

    Foxgloves in my Granny’s garden taught me an important lesson, when I was aged about four: Don’t go sticking your fingers into places without caution. I didn’t see the big bee until after it had stung me. Much tears (for both me and bee, I suppose). Thanks for the memory.

    That’s one heck of a flower.

    Very nice. Haven’t seen a foxglove in real life for a while.

    I’ve always liked foxgloves but don’t have any yet. But that would look great in my hodgepodge flower bed. I have name for my flowerbeds. Coffee is on.
