Digitalis close-up

lovely closeup

How lovely, and unusual.

Beautiful! ..and this one is perennial I believe?

So the label says. We'll have to wait and see!

Yes, I know what you mean. Saltwood Summer never came back for me and it doesn't seem to be available now...must have flopped on the market. Pity because it is a wonderfully beautiful plant. This year I've planted four different ones, all perennial and they are doing well but I don't think I shall have any flowers this year. Something to look forward to next year!

Good luck with them.

This foxglove apparently won gold at Chelsea this year! I'm not surprised, either.

That's right, I saw it, and they have it in local Dobbies here, but I have resisted so far!

Don't resist too long. I suspect they'll be sold out by the end of this w/end. I wanted more of those lupins, but guess what - all gone. :-(((

That is a beauty no wonder it got a Gold at Chelsea!

Did I tell you it's sterile? Isn't that a pain - I could have grown some more of them! :-((
