A foxglove (an escapee from my garden, I think) has flowered by the Grit bin.
I don't think I ever saw foxgloves until I was quite old. That was in an old oak wood in mid-Wales.
There are lots of foxgloves in the hedges in some places; on the way to the Sugar Loaf mountain, for example.
They produce the drug Digitalin,a powerful heart stimulant that's considered too unpredictable to use.
That's all I know about foxgloves
