Lovely plants. Useful and at the same time slightly dangerous I believe.
Nice shot Dave

Thank you both. There a few around one of the lakes I fish.
The entire plant is toxic (including the roots and seeds), although the leaves of the upper stem are particularly potent, with just a nibble being enough to potentially cause death.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitalis

I do love foxgloves, and always found them hard to photograph because of the length of the plant - it's hard to get it all in, and not have distracting things at the side/behind, and also to keep detail.
I do like the first shot

Thank you Moon and Z.
Z, I know what you mean. Finding the right angle has always been a tricky one for me to get the flower in the frame.

I like the way you have captured the texture of the flowers, especially in the whit ones as it very easy to blow these out.
Nice images
