    Thanks for your comments, some people I’ve shown are not so keen, but I agree the markings are amazing. I shall try to collect seeds but would be surprised if I got more of the same. Will let you know if I do though .

    Goodness me!  There’s a lot of it about this year  :o

    Foxglove in my garden, purchased from Notcutts a couple of weeks ago.

    I also have a Fasciated Delphinium. Must be a fascinating year for fasciation!

    Gardening. The cause of, and solution to, all of my problems.

    That’s amazing @helix. 

    Further from my pic of the foxglove above, with the fasciated terminal flower ... the same plant has produced a lot more flowering shoots and each one has an enlarged apical flower which, when you look inside has the markings and stamens of several blooms. Somethings going on ... obviously not fasciation caused by something external to the plant ...

    "something's going on..." that's intriguing and somewhat worrying.
