Default Tall foxgloves

Is it me or are the foxgloves extra tall this year.
We have one nudging 8ft, and several near 7ft.
regards
Tom

It's you ;-)

Mine are only about 3 ft, though with some about 5 ft.

Bur the season seems to galloping this year - the bluebells are only
just finished, but already the mock orange is out - mock orange is
usually an end- July event for me.

A coincidence! Yesterday, an aunt mistook some of my foxgloves for
hollyhocks! Some are about six feet (2 metres) tall but others are two
to four foot tall. I thought that perhaps the tall ones are a special
variety? My foxgloves were all started three years ago with a packet of
'wild foxglove' seeds and a packet of tall, multicoloured varieties,
both packets from B&Q.
