Well, I've been waiting patiently for VC to carry one with the alphabet...but I think she may have forgotten there's a few more letters after E!


So here you go with the letter F

FOXGLOVES - already growing in the greenhouse. They don't seem to self seed for me.

Has anyone grown Lutea? The small yellow perennial foxglove.

I know that as orange hawkbit . I’ve seen it called the names you used before. Probably was you  Smile . I just can’t put 2 & 2 together. I have to google it every time !  Blush . 
I hate flowers for their multiple names for the same thing. They’re worse than chillies!

I call Foxgloves Digitalis Wink
Digit = Finger/toe so Foxglove brings up an image of a fox, with little foxglove flowers on each of his toes - like bright, manicured nails. Smile
