foxglove
Speckled bell blooms
Foxglove is a tall flowering plant with tubular blossoms arranged along a spike, typically purple or white with spotted throats.
The plant is highly toxic but medicinally important—digitalis, a heart medication, derives from its leaves.
Foxgloves are common in cottage gardens and woodland edges: The foxgloves along the fence were in full bloom.
