Default White Foxglove

Of the two Foxgloves that have flowered in our garden this year one is the
usual pink with throat blotches but the other is pure white, no blotches
or any colour at all. I can't say I've seen one just pure white before.


About 1:50 of the wild population are white here. Many local
people think they are lucky and will dig them up to plant in their
gardens - they do not come true from seed.
