English Foxglove

It's a strange name for such a beautiful flower asI hardly think foxes ever wore them as gloves.

Good morning Angieindgar.... Welcome to GOY. You are right, it is a lot of fun being here, look forward to seeing your pictures, in due course.

beautiful foxglove, welcome to GOY

Thank u! I so enjoy looking at everyones gardens & plants. I think I'll really enjoy this site.

bit of useless info for you Angie lol , over here the name came from Folk's gloves which refers to the belief that fairies wore the flowers as gloves

ahhh now that makes more sense. Thank u! and that's not useless info. to me!

Ah Irish I just noticed ur from Dublin. I'm from Wicklow! Top of da mornin to ya!

Yes,it is Than U.
I couldn't 'ave asked to 'ave been raised in a more beautiful spot in d world than Wicklow. I am proud I come from there. It has so much diversity. Except when it comes 2 da weather in d last decade or so.
Rain, rain & more rain I even wrote a poem about it.

emmm you forgot to mention the rain lol

When I was a kid we had beautiful summers. My sister says it's so sad for her boys as they now don't know what a summer is! Unless they go 2 Spain. Such a shame!
