Took these yesterday evening. We grew them under a tree on the half plot where nothing else was gonna grow. They look just beautiful and there are no other coloured ones any where near so they just might produce true seed if anyone wants some when they set.
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

They are lovely Shirl. I tried a few seed but germination was zilch, maybe I kept compost too damp. May I put my name down for a few seeds when they are ready please?

Oh! I've been admireing my own (2) foxgloves today - now you've blown them out of the water!
I'd love some seeds when the time comes. Mine are just the standard pink. I still love them though.
They are standing up really well to the winds today.

Took this one in the wood yesterday. Never tried to get the seed. Is it an easy job?

Go back when the flower's over, you can get loads of seed. since it's a biennial, you really need to plant it two years running.

Those really are gorgeous Shirl.  If you've any spare seed, could I beg some?  Could send you some white in return.
