Say Ahhhhhhh
I have been determined to blip what it looks like looking down the throat of this foxglove, so much so that I refused to take any other photos today so I would be left with no choice. I find them to be so intricate and interesting and lovely, that I just wanted to share.
Here ya' go! I like Foxglove!
Some technical info from Wikipedia:
Digitalis is a genus of about 20 species of herbaceous perennials, shrubs, and biennials that are commonly called foxgloves. This genus was traditionally placed in the figwort family Scrophulariaceae, but upon recent reviews of phylogenetic research, it has now been placed in the much enlarged family Plantaginaceae.[1] This genus is native to western and south western Europe,[4] western and central Asia, and northwestern Africa. The scientific name means "finger-like" and refers to the ease with which a flower of Digitalis purpurea can be fitted over a human fingertip. The flowers are produced on a tall spike, are tubular, and vary in colour with species, from purple to pink, white, and yellow. The best-known species is the "Common Foxglove", Digitalis purpurea. This is a biennial plant which is often grown as an ornamental plant due to its vivid flowers. These range in color from various purple tints through various shades of light gray, and to purely white. The flowers can also possess various marks and spottings.
