I still can't figure out why they call this a fox glove. What am I missing? Do foxes wear gloves? ; )

I normally stay with the fractal gallery but your photograph just caught my eye. It is absolutely stunning. So many memories for my with foxgloves, my most favourite of all wild flowers, and yes foxes do wear foxgloves. Believe me. Believe in magic.

Hi Rachel !! :o) First of all, beautiful capture crisp and clear !! Amazing work !! And now the name, here it goes ;o) .... The earliest known name for this plant is the Anglo-Saxon "foxes glofa" (the glove of the fox). It derives its name from the flowers which resemble the fingers of a glove and possibly from a northern legend that bad fairies gave the blossoms to the fox to put on his toes, so that he might soften his tread while he hunted for prey.... btw its pretty toxic so dont you eat this plant ok ? lol
