Fancy Foxglove
With its purple/pink flowers clustered tightly together on a tall stem, Foxglove is one fancy and beautiful flower.
Unlike a perennial which flowers every year, foxgloves are biennial, meaning they flower every other year.
They can be invasive, but because of their beauty, that can be a good thing for some gardeners.
They are quite toxic, so while they may be touched without ill effect, ingesting them by mouth will produce dangerous effects. So care should be taken when pets or children are in their proximity.
I captured these flowers with my birding telephoto lens set at 400mm, f/5.6, at 1/30th of a second handheld, and an ISO of 1100.
