Foxgloves

We took a walk up to Black Hayes during the week.

The foxgloves were out in abundance.

This is a common woodland wildflower locally not a garden escape.

They are so pretty and useful too- foxglove is the source of digitalis for heart conditions and it was discovered by a local man, Dr William Withering.

We don't have any in our area so these are nice to see.

So pretty! I wouldn't have been able to identify those.

They're a really common wild flower here.

I only know the plants I know I have to admit!

We are very lucky to be where we are especially in these times.

We need this sort of thing so much on these times!

Foxgloves always make me think of the illustrations of The Borrowers series, with Arrietty wearing them as hats. These are beautiful.

Of course!

I'd forgotten that! :o)
