Dangerous Beauty

Beautiful but potentially deadly, the tubular blooms of the Foxglove add drama to the garden but their leaves are considered toxic because they contain digitalis -- a potent heart medicine.

Thanks to all for faving yesterday's Leaning into the Light to the PP! I also just noticed that The Wedge made it to the PP earlier this week as well! Wow!

Stunning picture.

Beautiful image.

[Anita Campbell]

Toxic, yes. Consequently, we can't have them in our back yard because we have tittle reptiles who wander the yard that like to eat the foliage....

[John]

Beautiful! We are seeing a lot of these here now.

[Denise Wood]

Such a pity something as beautiful as this is deadly!

[Danny G.]

They are beautiful but also look deadly!

[Graham Thresher]

[Richard Hickey]

Congratulations on making the PP. Well deserved.

A really beautiful capture ELizabeth! I had forgotten that they are so toxic...and yet so lovely!

[Osia Strasner]

Beautiful shot! I had no idea they were toxic! No wonder they don't want our pets to wander in the yards outside....so many things are toxic to them!

[Lisa Poland]

They sure are beautiful! FAV!
