   Hi Paz,

   That beautiful photo is of a foxglove. Digitalis ( heart med) was once derived from the seeds and leaves of the plant. I believe the compound is synthetically made now. It’s a self-seeding biennial (blossoms on the second year) I love the flower! I have this version and the yellow perennial version. They’re like gifts I find all over the yard. You can dig them up and transplant them, but sometimes, like people, they resist being moved from one location to another.

   Hi Louisa: It’s been great reading your comment here. I love the name “foxglove.” When I saw this flower I was exhausted and trying to get home but the sight of it stopped me in my tracks. I had to pull out my camera and take some pics, despite the many packages I had in my hands. Oh, I’d love to see this in yellow. Very nice that they come in different color. Thanks for this wonderful info.

   Best,
   Paz (who wishes she had her own garden)
