Hello please can anyone identify this plant? I thought it was a foxglove as there was a purple one there last year, but as we have not been here long I scattered s lot of seeds in the gaps and I think this is from them but I can’t remember what I scattered!! It’s not purple looks like s creamy or light yellow flower us about to emerge and I would say the flower spike is about 1 metre high (so far) as the leaves are big ! Thankyou for your help!  Sorry about photos being sideways I still have no idea how to use this phone camera and upload it the right way!

    Looks like a foxglove to me.
    They don't come true from self-sown seed, you'll get lots of colours

    PS - it's this site that screws up the photos - not you :)

    You can tell if they’re are going to be white or pink by the colour of the leaves,  no red colour on the white ones.

    I like this one it’s much redder in reality ,
     I love the way foxgloves decide where they want to grow
