    I'm in the North, and 500 feet up, so everything is later.
    Thalictrums flower from June to September here ( different species ) and the Irises are later than usual, the boggy bed they are in was frozen till quite late this year
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Two beautiful varieties of foxgloves - should anybody know what they are called, please can you let me know





    The name tag only said Foxglove when I bought them, so not very helpful 🙄

    @Big Blue Sky, they could be from the Foxlight series - Ruby Glow and Plum Gold.

    Thank you @BenCotto - I think you are right. 
    I went online straight away and tried to find seeds of Plum Gold, as it is incredibly beautiful and very long lasting. Unfortunately it seems to be one of those hybrids that can only be bought as ready plants and do not propagate by seeds or cuttings. So annoying 😒
    I shall see if I can overwinter it as I have it growing in a pot.
