Re: Foxglove,

Thanks for your info, Ejnar! I'm going to add the name to the title and...I will limit myself to take pictures without touching it!
All the best.
Alberto

Re: PP

I didn't know the properties of this plant, so i've taken some info about; if assumed in very very small amount, the leaves have some cardiotonic properties, but an higher amount can be letal.
Anyhow, its flowers are wonderful!
