Foxglove

I really thought I would have to wait for next year to see flowers on this foxglove. I bought two. One is flowering. The other is not. Biennials can be a mystery. The chartreuse flowers in the picture are lady's mantle.

There are few truly poisonous plants in my garden, but digitalis is one of them. There was a time in my plant collection days that I thought I wanted a poison plant garden, but I decided against it. This plant got to stay because it is gorgeous and it goes well in the back of the bed next to the stone wall.
