Last year on Sunday 16th August I went to Columbia Road Flower Market where I purchased the foxglove seen above.
I took the plant to the service of Sung Eucharist at St. Paul’s Cathedral, where one of the Vergers commented that he thought this was the first time a Foxglove plant had attended a service. The tag on the right in the second shot shows the date. I saved the seeds by hanging the seed pods upside down in a bag in the greenhouse. I planted them out in March in the greenhouse incubator. Three took - and the best is on the lefthandside. The three are now in my kitchen where I can keep them under careful eye. I look forward to the flowering in late August, I guess!
