The Good, the Bad and the Lovely_265
Foxglove (Digitalis) is the original source of digoxin, a heart medicine. Its leaves, flowers and seeds are poisonous to humans and some animals, including deer which are smart enough to know they should not eat it (this is one of the reasons why there are many foxgloves in my garden). Regardless of the colour of the flower there is always an abundance of tiny hairs inside each blossom. (The photo title is adapted from the 1966 movie "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly".)
