Description

This is digitalis, better known as foxglove. Check it out in full view - it looks frosted, doesn't it? I didn't do that in postwork - it came that way! :) Another shot from Ann's wonderful garden, taken last July. Sorry - when I go to Ann's the sneak factor is always zero. She calls me and gives me a list of things that are in bloom, and I go out and take pictures when she thinks there's enough stuff to shoot! Spring hasn't quite sprung around here, but it's getting ready! I've got two daffodils in bloom, and the heather is gorgeous right now. There are a few very early flowering cherries just starting up, and there's a certain variety of pale pink rhododendron that blooms in February and March. The orchestra is tuning up! :) ..... Edit note: Dang! Dennis and Deb are right - these don't look like foxglove! (Although the foxglove in my garden is ALL purple!) I don't think they're canterbury bells, though. Andrea? Chris? Help! .......... Second edit note: I asked Ann -- this is penstemon.
