Notes About The Poem

The Foxglove Flower

  Translucent is the beauty of the foxglove flower,
hiding is something they never ever do; they are 
       poisonous giving rashes, nausea and headaches !

  Find them in a cottage garden mingling, entangled with cat mint,
often they self seed in very strange and odd places,
      xcelsior hybrids are available in many lovely colors;
go look inside the tubular flower for freckles and spot decorations. 
                 Love and admire them in a woodland theme garden,
  on sunny days I pause to treasure their loveliness; 
very respected flower to treat heart failure for over 200 years,
        enjoy them but do not touch them without gloves.

Foxgloves make a nice gift (with warning) for a friends garden, but
   like taking over yours-  you need to control their rambling ways; 
on tall spikes these dreamy gems grow tall and stunning,  
           walls of this charming flowers that are a true natural beauty.
Every color imaginable is available but I am fond of pink,
                      remove the tallest spikes to make room for new growth.
