I get a lot of deliveries. Without a vehicle, it's the only reliable way to Get Stuff Here. Some of the drivers will bring packages to the top of the driveway, which I very much appreciate. But I don't blame the drivers who choose to leave packages at the bottom of the driveway, and that's why there's a little plastic lawn chair visible from the road. In the Winter, I leave a sled down there.
Walking down the driveway to pick up a package, I spotted this:
I believe it's a foxglove, which I don't recall ever seeing here before.

Exciting stuff!
Especially since it's in a place where the animals are not, so I don't have to try to transplant it to avoid accidental poisoning.
And so interesting:

This morning I also walked up the road a hundred feet or so, to check on a little patch of columbines in front of my Upper West Side paddock. Some years I've seen two or three colors of columbine there, but this year I saw only one color - a lovely purple. Today there are just three blossoms remaining, Here's one:
I hope you've got some flowers blooming wherever you are.

Great find!
ReplyDeleteFoxgloves are a beautiful flower. There are too many cats and rabbits around to take a chance growing them. Sorry to read you haven’t replaced your vehicle.

That's a wonderful find. You seem to have worked out a vehicle free life. Tips, please!
ReplyDeleteFoxgloves grow wild in many places. Interesting you've not seen it there before and boom, all of a sudden it's there. I guess a bird or other creature brought the seed along with them. That's how I get palms and corn growing here in my potted plants. :)
ReplyDeleteHow neat! The foxglove, I mean. I hope it becomes a regular fixture. I like the columbine too.
