Foxglove

The foxglove are blooming today.  Well, they have been for a short time.  It's a fun plant that has soft leaves and is only around for 2 years.  The first year it is just the plant and the second year it blooms and throws it seeds.  Fortunately, we have alternating blooms so every year we get to see them and every year more get planted naturally. 

Notice the bees in the above picture :)

So many whites...
And I forgot to mention the flower spikes are often 3 - 4 ft. tall.
