Strange foxglove

[roger]

All my previousexperience of foxgloves ia that their flowers are purple - I now have one growing in my drive which started with yellow flowes and has now added white ones. Is this rare ?

[Prudie]

I've had foxgloves like that in my garden but they are cultivated ones I bought from a garden centre.

We have creamy white ones growing wild here in rural Yorkshire, but they have probably seeded from nearby gardens.

In the wild the usual colour is purple but you can get white wild ones too. Yellow ones seem as if it must be seeded from a cultivated one.

All poisonous, wash your hands after touching them.

I love them, because of their toxicity they're the only plants in my garden the slugs don't devour. Very decorative too, and the bees love them.

I used to wonder how they fitted on a fox's paw when I was a little girl.
They're wonderful. I love to watch the bees make their way in and out of each opening, collecting the pollen. And I love the white speckly ones too.

loads of different varieties and species they hybridise happily there are a few yellow ones and a lovely foxy rust colour but my fave is the white one grown in the shade they look quite ghostly at dusk
