Chocolate Digitalis
 
I received an offer of a free "chocolate" digitalis from Thompson and
Morgan Nursery with a minimum order. I donno, is it just me?
A "brown flowered" foxglove doesn't sound all that ornamental.
It sounds psychotic.

I wonder which species this is, as there are several brown flowered foxgloves:

They are elegant rather than showy. If you don't want them, maybe someone else will take them off you.

I'd have to buy something first, and this isn't gonna induce me to.
Brown flowers! If they were dry, it would be the joys of times past.
To me, brown just sets the bar too low for rejoicing. Too contemplative
to stir my emotions. Chacun a son goût.
I dunno, http://tinyurl.com/5glf29 looks OK but my foxgloves are a light
burgundy and white against a retaining wall of violets.

Quite see your point! Since T&M are offering these as a free gift, could you not find someone to do an exchange for something that suits your colour scheme?

I'm glad that you see my point but you don't seem to be understanding
the words that are coming out of my keyboard;-)
