Shirlton: Great pics. Even better than my foxgloves! ;D

I have managed to get some 'foxies' to grow this year in my garden for the first time. A Mixture of species 'purpurea' and a similar hybrid mixture. Colours mostly pinks and purples, but also some glorious white ones. I have them planted in my woodland borders under pine trees where they look perfectly at home, plus a few others dotted elswhere in the garden. The look great. I plan to let them set seed and naturalise where they want to grow, however I know full well that anything could come up next year and will probably loose the white ones in time.

I also plan to add to them by sowing more seed. i have seed of a nice yellow one, plus the rest of the packet that gave me all the pastel shades. That way might be able to get a good mix of colours in time.
