These foxgloves I found growing in my brothers garden, and they looked too good to walk by and not photo.

I really like the appearance of the foxglove flower, but I find it very difficult to photograph. I like the brick as a background because there's nothing else green behind it to confuse the issue.

Pure foxglove, all the time!

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

Just gorgeous, Ann. I like the brick wall as a backdrop. Really nice work.

A beautiful composition, The colour of the foxglove really stands out against the brick wall.
Well done.

Thanks Ed

It's not how many megapixels. But how you use the ones you have.

They attracted you to them because they see you as the queen bee. Your brother has a lovely garden and you are lucky to have it as your model. A beautiful picture of these foxgloves. By the way, I slipped and fell in the mud today as I was walking along the river and I thought of you immediately. I should have had my wellies (spelling?) on!! LOL.

Wonderful capture. The brick provided a excellent contrasting background.

Marvelous pic Ann! Also, I must thank you for another reason: since my med school years, I knew that "digitalis" (a heart medication used both for cardiac dysrhythmias and congestive heart failure, with a very narrow therapeutic index) is extracted from foxgloves. However, somehow I had never seen even a picture of a foxglove! Now I have, thanks to your lovely pic! BTW, the story of the discovery of foxglove/digitalis as a cardiac medication is very interesting; I'll tell you if you're interested!

I have had them in my garden for years until my kids started to walk around. Then I removed them for they are extremely poisoneous!
During my recent holidays I saw thousands of them in the Black Forest and Alsace. Beautiful!
