Summer Foxgloves

British foxgloves are the most beautiful wild flower there is. They come into flower late May and are in full bloom in June. Both a poison and a herbal medicine, the foxglove extract is used to help heart problem. If any part of the foxglove plant is swallowed, it is poisonous. It's such a woodland beauty, hidden away in the shady parts of the forest, and yet is such a tall and vibrant plant, with bell shaped flowers and the most attractive pollen for bees!
