The Foxglove Flower

Translucent is the beauty of the foxglove flower, and hiding is something they never ever do; careful they are extremely poisonous giving rashes, nausea and headaches ! Find them in a cottage garden mingling, entangled with cat mint, or often they self seed in very strange and odd places, they are xcelsior (excelsior) hybrids and available in many lovely colors; just go look inside the beautiful tubular flower for freckles and spots. And love and admire them in a woodland theme garden, like me on sunny days I pause to treasure their loveliness; Foxglove are a very respected flower to treat heart failure for over 200 years, oh enjoy them but do not touch them without gloves. Foxgloves make a nice gift (with warning) for a friends garden, but like taking over- one needs to control their rambling ways; that on tall spikes these dreamy gems grow tall and stunning, behold walls of these charming flowers that are a true natural beauty. There is every color imaginable available but I am fond of the pink, but listen well remove the tallest spikes for new growth and they will be very happy. _________________________ January 13, 2016 Poetry/Acrostic/The Foxglove Flower Copyright Protected, ID 16-1107-104-0 All Rights Reserved.
