Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea). Tall spikes of thimble-like flowers. Deep green, hairy leaves, growing from a central rosette. Poisonous and can be fatal if ingested, however also used in medicines to treat heart problems, asthma, and epilepsy. Another favourite for bees 🐝💛🖤💜🩷

Oval, pointed leaves. Bright blue flowers with a white central eye.
