While they slept, I oooed and awed at the beauty of the countryside. Did the same when we took a group to Ireland. I bought fox glove last week at the garden center. I have 3. One is blooming and is a glorious foot high. Sweet for Northern Colorado. Hopefully they will return next year--assuming that they survive the summer heat. Yours are gorgeous. I love your cottage garden.annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668006270534204954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732676481099375924.post-6150845179308196302011-06-22T13:07:05.999-07:002011-06-22T13:07:05.999-07:00I have some volunteer Foxglove and I think they lo...I have some volunteer Foxglove and I think they look beautiful...just keep the chickens and kids away and it's all good!<br />We've had tons of rain this year in Washington State and I haven't seen that many this year.Lindsey at NW Backyard Veggieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15317941200095723496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732676481099375924.post-63575780779163350022011-06-22T11:23:07.613-07:002011-06-22T11:23:07.613-07:00I tried some "cultivated" Foxgloves once...I tried some "cultivated" Foxgloves once, but they were disappointing. Somehow it didn't seems right to have yellow ones and light pink ones. For me, a "real" Foxglove has to be deep purple on the outside with dark black mottling on the inside.
