I will look more closely.<br /><br />Hi Nan, thank you.<br /><br />Pumpkin Patch Quilter, some years the do much better than others. This year they had plenty of rain.<br /><br />Hi Cordwood, I agree. Wish I could grow hollyhocks here.<br /><br />Kathleen, they are very difficult plants for me also. I plan to collect the seed and start many plants later this year. Hopefully some will survive and bloom next spring.<br /><br />Walk2Write, I think these are all bienniel. Some have to be started this year if there are to be foxgloves in next year's garden.<br /><br />MarnieRoses and Lilacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121676379580186489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641867746157798839.post-62367616000396593022009-06-23T13:53:38.082-05:002009-06-23T13:53:38.082-05:00Hi Rosey, stealing away the children isn't ver...Hi Rosey, stealing away the children isn't very nice. <br /><br />Dog Geek, I'd love to see the rings.

Is your foxglove biennial or perennial? I grew some in Illinois and was disappointed when they bloomed beautifully one year and had nothing the next. So I planted something else in the spot. Then someone told me about some of them being biennial. Thank goodness for blogging. It's saved me a lot of time, expense, and aggravation.walk2writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501812375142037251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641867746157798839.post-6965607496489036812009-06-23T13:25:21.391-05:002009-06-23T13:25:21.391-05:00I missed this post too Marnie ~ how did it sneak b...I missed this post too Marnie ~ how did it sneak by me? I'm a HUGE fan of foxgloves (I must be a believer too then, right?!!) but I struggle to get them to overwinter. Doesn't matter, they are so magical, I keep trying every year. You have so many nice photos and I love the fairy poems.

Fun to research.<br /><br />SweetBay, that is what old tales tell us. Isn't it always better to be safe that sorry?
