White Foxglove
Digitalis purpurea 'Camelot
White'
(dig-ee-TAH-liss) (pur-PUR-ee-uh)
A slightly different twist on
a garden classic. The white flowers on this cultivar are nice and I have found
they mix well with the standard pink/purple types. Although it is recovered
from a separate species of Digitalis I would like to thank them for helping to
keep healthy as my daily dose of Digoxin helps control my heart rate.
Currently we are building up
a big patch of Foxglove at work. It isn’t the white flowered type but has
been steadily (with our help) seeding into a larger area. Transplanting the
seedlings has proved tricky but we haven’t given up on it yet.
Since it is Sunday here is
another plant that has been steadily increasing its space in the garden but not
in an annoying way. It has taken over what I call "hard luck ground” and is
happy despite the conditions. I am not sure what species of Allium this is but
it is really a nice plant.
Allium
(AL-ee-um)
