Although some find this plant too envading, I love it here in the mountain where their pretty pink colour enhances the greenery !!!!

Thanks for the visit and YS Marie-Claire. Yes it is invasive but to see it along the side of country lanes and tracks at this time of year is something I look forward to.

Best wishes, Doug

Doug, I did as you suggested, enlarged this! It's such a pretty color, my favorite, this appears to be a lot like our Floxglove plant, I got one for Mother's Day and have tried to make it grow and survive, but I have not been successful :( it looks like it dying :( :( YS Sarah

Thanks very much Sarah, glad you like it. It is a different plant to the one we here know as the foxglove en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitalis and much more common. The wild foxglove dies back at the end of summer and I suppose reseeds for the next year so perhaps your plant will do the same. There may be some information in the wikipedia link that will help.

Have a good day, Doug

Thanks Doug, I appreciate this info about the foxglove, I will surely watch for it to re seed and maybe in the spring I will have a pleasant surprise. Sarah
