Yes, gorgeous... Digitalis purpurea Digitalis this profusely flowering is hybridized.... not wild type... wild type sets sparser flowers... (seen in English countrysides, in hedges...)
This heavy flowering cultivar has escaped and is seen thoughout SW USA, and in the Northeastern states... however slowly the numbers of flowers and their size decrease... to a few per spike... NOT a matter of fertilizer.. because even in heavily manured parts of summer gardens some volunteers come up year after year and show lesser and lesser flowers... Usha di...
