I could not let May end without mentioning my foxgloves.
I consider them fascinating.
Each thimble is designed to guide a bee into it.
The spots inside are like little landing lights.
The tall spikes of blooms and fluffy leaves below create perfect balance.
I have planted them many places from which they disappear, only to reappear somewhere else.
Seeds sown in the fall will sprout in spring and bloom a year later.
They are self-sowing biennials. Enjoy them wherever they choose to grow.

So beautiful 🙂 We had loads of foxgloves last year.

I love them, but they do not enjoy our weather.

I once heard that little girls living on the frontier of the Western US would make Dolls out of dried Foxgloves, with the flower acting as a skirt

I never thought about the spots being bee “landing lights” inside a foxglove flower – what a great Mother Nature idea! I have one plant right now that is about to bloom. It will be a pure white one, so I hope the poor bees don’t ignore it!
