Foxglove
In the garden at work...
Foxes put these on their feet at night to soften the sound of their paws and to hide the scent!

Hi Lori, not that I can recall... but now I am intrigued, tell more....

Author was George Cory Franklin, (could be a nom de plume...like Franklin W. Dixon for the Hardy Boys) He wrote 11 books but the ones I most admired and enjoyed where Tricky, Zorra and Tuffy... He writes about foxes with respect and admiration...Tricky and Vixen are Zorra's parents...and the humans in the story are miners, Happy Jack Ryan and Stevens... takes place in the American northwest....My grade five teacher read Tricky to us, chapter by chapter on Friday afternoons as a reward for working hard all week. That's why it seemed you were referring to the book with your name and the little fable of foxglove!! lol.

Hi Lori
Not read that story...
Just what come into my head when naming the plant... sounds good though, perhaps tell me more of the story?

Tricky, if you have children or grandchildren between the ages of 8 and 12 they will probably love these stories...they are a little dated now...but the lessons are universal... check out your local library...these are great stories that will help to raise the awareness of children about the wildlife with whom we share our world.
What else?
See who else is growing Digitalis lutea (foxglove).
See who else has plants in genus Digitalis.
