Foxglove

Rumour has it that the mottled markings on foxglove flowers were once thought to be the hand-prints of fairies.
In fact, in Gaelic, it was called lus nam ban-sith - 'the fairy woman's plant'.
Fairies are supposed to have given the corollas of this powerful plant to foxes. Wearing the foxgloves, the fox could then sneak in magic silence up to the poultry or away from people.
Local names are numerous and include Dragon's mouth, Bunny rabbits, Floppy dock, Tod-tails, Bunch of grapes, Bloody man's fingers, Deadmen's thimbles and Fairy bells.
