Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Foxglove

Photographed at the Reader Rock Garden in Calgary, on 8 August 2012. I believe my ID is correct. Perhaps someone could confirm or correct this, especially the latter. I will be so happy when a few more flowers are in bloom here, so that I won't need to search through my archives for flower shots. I know everyone else must be feeling the same, even though we had a wonderfully mild winter. The temperature today is supposed to climb to 14C this afternoon - only 1C early this morning. It soared to a balmy 21C yesterday afternoon. Not sure what happened to our spring - we almost seem to have jumped from winter to summer.

When I first saw this plant, I thought these were dead blooms, but then heard someone comment that these are what the flowers actually look like. On a closer look, I realized how pretty they were.
