Foxglove Mutations

j_baldwinj_baldwin Posts: 1
This year I have two foxglove mutations.  The first one (white) had a big cone flower on top of the stalk (unfortunately I didn't get a pic of the bloom before it started wilting).  I have seen this mutation around the web. Now it's making some beautiful cone-shaped flowers around the base now that the main stalk is done blooming.  The second one (pink) has a total of 11 small stalks on top of the main one, all of which are blooming.This one I cannot find any information about.  Has anyone seen this before?

    Hi there,
    It is called faciation, I posted a pic of my foxglove recently and was promptly told off as there was a post about this goodness how long ago! I don't bother posting now, I just browse!  Here's my picture.

    I’m sorry you felt you were being ‘told off’ @jessum 😢 
    I was simply showing you where there were other pics you might be interested in as someone had mentioned it
