Foxgloves and Other Darlings

Before the rain, hail and high winds came and took them all away.

I love these flowers.  I love their color, the funky spots, and the

sound the bees make when they are way up inside.  The buzzing is

amplified by the bell shape leaves,  it sounds like a rocket about to

launch.

oh, and they are highly poisionous, how cool is that?

Lupines.  Pretty nice this year before the slugs and grasshoppers

had their feast.  I just cut them back tonight to the nubbies.  We will see what happens next year.
