    Me too - such unusual shapes and so stately... yet, like all flowers - little slappers when it comes to attracting bees

    Great close-up, Rolf!

    I'm another Foxglove fan. I sowed lots of seeds in pots last August, then put the little plants out in the garden in April - all round the place and under the Oak tree. Most have turned out white, pale pink or mauve. I wish I had some bright pink ones like that!

    They're wonderful at attracting Bumble Bees.

    Yes, they were full of Bees, I think most of them in the wood were that shade of pink.
