Usually I’d aim to get more of the foxglove spire in the picture, but an alternative viewpoint seemed to work better, focusing on a few spotted flowers.
The pink blurs in the background are dianthus; rose foliage neatly fills the foreground.

Thank you, love the foxgloves!

My pleasure – thank you!
A charming mix.
The foxglove itself was a bit ungainly.
Beautiful combination of flowers 😀
I like something about this combination, but could not put my finger on exactly what it is.
A flower like that deserves a close-up.
I did wonder if the flowers looked a little sulky, but decided it would be more charitable to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Sulky! What a great word! Yes, they deserved the benefit!
Beautiful Susan. My white dianthus are out at the moment 🙂
Lovely.
So pretty. We grow dianthus in the winter and foxgloves don’t like our climate. You have the perfect combination.
Foxgloves grow wild and abundantly in Lancashire, but this was in Mississippi where they treat foxgloves like bedding plants.
Ohhh, I thought it was your garden. They are bedding plants here too. I have tried them and they usually don’t come back the next year.
Love the foxglove, but I used to find them notoriously hard to photograph back in the day when I did more flower photography.
I quite enjoy foxgloves, but I get quite a lot of practice with them, one way or another. I find iris tricky and hibiscus.
I love the close up!
Thank you!
Great photo composition of the foxglove!
I’m glad you liked it.
I always confuse them with hollyhocks, which tend to get a bit leggy and droopy over here. Pretty combination, Susan.
Leggy is fine for a hollyhock, droopy less so! They tend to get rust here.
