    Is it a rusty foxglove?

    There's digitalis ferruginea and another brown one I don't know the name of...

    2nd pic is def foxglove. Is the first one the same plant? Doesn't look like the leaves of a foxglove image

    D ferruginea has different leaves to a normal foxglove...but I just went out and looked at mine and now I'm not sure I've got that right.

    Mine has a lot of leaves going up the stem. 

    Where are all the experts tonight, leaving us to do IDing on our own...image

    Vebascum? Or something else with a 'v' at the start. Saw something similar in GC today. Veronicastrum. Or maybe a foxglove. (Embarassed smiley)

    I find all the brownish ones difficult to distinguish. Except ferruginea and it's not that.

    It is def. a foxglove, not D,ferruginea as i grow that one. It could be D.parviflora as that is brown, but there are a number of other brown foxgloves available.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    To me it looks larger flowered than either of those two, there's lanata as well
