So I have finally managed to get some foxgloves to grow in my garden (no idea why they've not found their own way here). Here is a picture of one particularly large specimen and I was wondering if anyone has a larger one anywhere. I haven't measured it but I'm 6'5" and standing next to it this is up to the top of my forehead so probably 6'3 minimum. The rest are a much more standard height.

Impressive, Jimny.
Mine are the wild ones, they're tall (compared to me ) but I'll have a proper look tomorrow.

That's a very pretty foxglove. I have a single wild one in my garden, but it's probably not even 5 feet tall.

I have one, brought in by the birds I think, and it's about the same height as me if I remember correctly - 5'5.

That's a very pretty colour, all my foxgloves are either purple or white, all self seeded, I've never intentionally grown a single one.

I love the colour of that foxglove. I’ve got a couple of pams split flowering at the moment. But they’re not very tall. Mostly because they’re in pots. I’ve lots and lot of wild ones. I’ll have a look tomorrow at hight.
Builder that would like to go play in the garden.

I've measured my tallest at 190cm (6'3" in old money), grown from seed.
The one on the left. It was too hard to hold the tape measure and take a picture at the same time.

Either the file was too big the first time, or my PC's playing silly bu99ers.
