Recent Question from Gardeners
Question
Foxgloves
I have a foxglove in my garden that is in full bloom with normal blooms but the very top of the plant is open like a saucer showing all the inside colouring of a normal flower but much bigger, it looks like a sattelite dish. Is this normal or a defect, it is the second plant I have had like this.
Answer
That is very odd I have not seen anything like that before on foxgloves. Can you attach a photo?
