I love this ancient plant, with tall stems bearing tubular flowers which are spotted inside. However caution is advised, as due to the presence of cardiac glycoside digitoxin,the leaves, flowers and seeds of this plant are poisonous to humans and some animals and can be fatal if eaten.

Those plants are breathtaking.
I'm very thankful to the author for posting such an amazing post.
I personally try not to ingest any of my plants,lol. Great warning. These are so beautiful, love the freckles.
Mine are blooming for the first time this year - it's so exciting! I didn't know about the poisonousness, tho - thanks for the warning.
That is just an incredible combination of textures and elements. So softly feminine, and intricate. Beautiful!
That foxglove really caught my eye! Just beautiful, KeeWee! I grow the very subtle pale yellow and purple/pink...I need to find THIS one! ;)
Yours look beautiful! Mine are getting close to blooming, I think I have many of the same colors as you.
