My good friend and fellow blogger Imac has put some photos on of a foxglove that he shot in the gardens at Belton House, which isn't too far away from where he lives with his DW.
Strangely enough, I took some photos of the foxglove that is growing in our garden. I've gone for more of a dramatic 'Beanstalk' view, rather than a close up of the flowers themselves.
I'm curious to know whether foxes do use them to keep their paws warm?
This is a lovely colorful and nice summer shot!!
ReplyDeleteThought this was a foxglove. It's a really exceptional flower.
ReplyDeleteNot for foxes to keep their paws warm, but foxglove does have an important use. The heart medication digitalis originally came from foxglove, and foxglove has many uses in old, traditional medicine. So, in addition to looking lovely in your garden, these flowers have actually helped save lives.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's my obscure factoid of the day!
Incredible photos you have here. I'm glad you're enjoying how everything is going. By the way, do you need cash fast through selling your house in Nottingham, United Kingdom? Your search is over because I found the best people in the business who can help you. Thanks and good luck!
