Beautiful pic, Bill, and I love that list of names! I've never bothered to wear gloves for these, but I got a stonking rash from a Grevillia, which has now gone to the giant shredder in the sky!

Supreme colors, focus, detail and composition in this fine macro of the foxglove plant, Bill. The innards of the blooms look like tiny pieces of chocolate cookies floating in a milky froth.

Nice looking flower Bill didn't know that they had a nasty bite though, will have to store that info in the back of the old brain, (then promptly forget it).. lol..

Beautiful flower, color and lighting as always water droplets add a very nice touch!

they do have a nasty side, don't they. but they also somehow make digitalis, which is a powerful heart medicine, so I guess they redeem themselves fairly well!! great shot!!

A wonderful flower and shot and lovely colors. My neigbour had it this summer, but they seem to be gone now, maybe because their grandchildren were suppose to come on vacation.

A beauty, Bill!

I always wear gloves in the garden, but have had more of an adverse skin reaction to horsetails than to foxglove. In general, I just make it a practice to not lick anything that's growing in the garden. LOL! This is a wonderful shot ... I love foxglove!
